lyrics

If you plant a poison flower
In your garden I will never tell
You're locked inside your tower
Still trying to cast another spell
Well, well
Mixing up some magic potion
With a teardrop from your eye
Oh my , my
I'm still swimming across that ocean
For the life of me I could not tell you why

To a blue and gold horizon
How long we wandered I really couldn't say
And the stars they give no guidance
Still you insist you know the way
Hey, hey
'Cause you had yourself a notion
Build a castle in the sky
Oh my, my
Still swimming across that ocean
For the life of me I could not tell you why

It's hard looking down
Hundred feet above the ground
Straighten up and turn around
And face another day
Hey hey

In a world of true believers
Chasing down some promised destiny
We've pulled at all the levers
Where does that leave you and me
Overcome with emotion
But we still refuse to cry
Oh my, my
I'm still swimming across that ocean
For the life of me I could not tell you why
For the life of me
For the life of me
I could not tell you why
