We spent years at sea fumbling with our sails
Looking for the wind to take us home again
We were filled with dread gripping tight the rails
Holding on for dear life as the waves came crashing down
Oh this ocean of hours
Oh this ocean of hours
Where did the time go
The ground below our feet has grown unstable for us now
And though we saw the red sky warning
It's safer if we leave this morning
Oh this ocean of hours
Oh this ocean of hours
Where did the time go
So we will roll upon the waves or face the rising tide
It's just as simple a decision as it is difficult to make
We cannot wait until the spring to throw sails open wide
We must take to the sea at once or lose our lives in the wake
You've spent years with me
I give you all that I have left
You are my anchor and my wind
You are my northern star
And oh this ocean is ours
Oh this ocean of hours
Oh this ocean
Oh this ocean
Oh this ocean of hours
Where did the time go"
