Well I woke up at the station
Miles from your company
With your conscience asleep in my pocket
Nothing that you thought you'd need
Well I spent my time in the hollows
On and off my feet
Followed you down to the depths of the west
But you never looked back for me
So golden ocean, cover me in sunshine
I've been in the dark for too long
Hiding in the shadows at dawn

So golden ocean, cover me in sunshine
I need someone to love
Someone I could hold in the sun
And that might be enough

But when I came back down the mountain
With nothing I could lay at your feet
I'd wandered the hills till the morning
But I found nothing you'd acquire from me
So from the righteous to the rotten
I have traded my share in each
Every man is the same, if you cut to the vein
There's a boy staring out to sea

Water's comin in
From where the color ends
It covers my clouded eyes
I'd been followin'
Where your love had been
Never found it in time

No golden ocean could cover me in sunshine
I've been in the dark for too long
Hiding in the shadows at dawn
So golden ocean, save a little sunshine
Find someone who can love
Cause I'm telling you I'm not the one
That you're looking for
