Elton John - Oceans Away Lyrics
I hung out with the old folks, in the hope that I'd get wise.I was trying to bridge the gap, between the great divide.Hung on every recollection, in the theater of their eyesPicking up on this and that, in the few that still survive.Call em upDust em offLet em shineThe ones who hold onto the the ones, they had to leave behindThose that flew, those that fell,The ones that had to stayBeneath a little wooden crossOceans awayThey bend like trees in winter, these shuffling old gray lionsThough snow white start to gather, like the belt around Orion.Just a touch of faded lightning, of the powerful design,Of the generation gathered, for maybe the last time.Call em upDust em offLet em shineThe ones who hold onto the the ones, they had to leave behindThose that flew, those that fell,The ones that had to stayBeneath a little wooden crossOceans awayOceans away where the green grass sways and the cool wind blows across theshadow of their graves.shoulder to shoulder, back in the day, sleeping bones to rest in EarthOceans awayOceans awayCall em upDust em offLet em shineThe ones who hold onto the the ones, they had to leave behindThose that flew, those that fell,The ones that had to stayBeneath a little wooden crossOceans away
