Katie Melua Lyrics
"Where Does the Ocean Go?"

Through a cloudy haze on the sun lit sea
We waved them away from the southern key
Seventeen hands, but the one in charge
Was one fine man from the bio sauvage

Mon cher, senior, keep c'est Caesar
I try not to show him the tear in my eye
I send my love, I'll wait for you
Farewell, sweet boy, from the one by you

Where does the ocean go?
Should I let it take me?
Any second they may wake me
Does anybody know?
Where does the ocean go?

I knew back then as I always know
That sailors pray as the trade winds blow
But the ship went down off the coast of Spain
I read the letter and felt his pain

Where does the ocean go?
Should I let it take me?
Any second they may wake me
Does anybody know?
Where does the ocean go?

Some days I walk on the harbor side
And I watch the sea and the rising tide
And I see him there like a sand mirage
My lost man in a moon du sauvage

Where does the ocean go?
Should I let it take me?
Any second they may wake me
Does anybody know?
Where does the ocean go?

Does anybody know?
Where does the ocean go?
