lyrics

Rolling The Ocean
(Cardier)

Rolling the ocean, turning an angry land -
Watching the motion of the sand
And learning the world of an ordinary man
And feeling like a lonely traveller on the moon.

A simple thing, waves are on the ocean -
A simple thing if I may say
And if you could see the simplicity
In-between the ocean and the wave.

Rolling the ocean, turning an angry land -
Watching the motion of the sand
And learning the world of an ordinary man
And feeling like a lonely traveller on the moon.

Below, we know everybody grows and the wind blows
In a different kind of way -
In a different kind of way in-between, in-between.

A simple thing, mm, the grass is green -
A simple thing it might have been
And if you could see the simplicity
In-between the grass and the green.

Rolling the ocean, turning an angry land -
Watching the motion of the sand
And learning the world of an ordinary man
And feeling like a lonely traveller on the moon.
