lyrics

Bay ocean bay ocean
Won't you set her free
My love in a house that fell into the sea
I find it in pieces washed up on the beach

Hairbrush of bone hidden half in the sand
Balustrade where she once lay her sweet hand
Frame with no picture
A door and a key
Bay ocean bay ocean
Let her back to me

I see we were wrong to put our trust in you
For you will do things that a man could not do
Fury and force to deliver it well
I'd sooner pact with the devil in hell

Bay ocean bay ocean
Let her back to me
What use have you for her broken body?
Crackled and sparkled when she was alive
Bay ocean let me lay her down now she's died

Late when sleep takes me I'm caught in your squall
A man with no arms and no throat left to call
A voice I remember like no other one says
She took me to pay for the damage you've done
