Lyrics

Between The Ocean and the Sky -TBurns

Jack's still making deals with everyone he knows
Like everything is X's and all the rest is owes
He's dug himself a pit where he buries each regret
And while the icy winds of winter wear him down
He finds another reason to head to town

I spotted him at the Depot he was tucked behind a beer
He gave me his side of the story the night that Jenny disappeared
She snatched his favorite jacket when he'd passed out on the beach
She took his wallet and his keys and half a grand
And left him rough between the night sky and the sand

It's summer somewhere half a world away
No confidences broken and nobody's turned away
There's a light on in the window that's only there for show
But I could be wrong. It could be on to guide me home

I met up with her later that same night along the pier
I took the cash. She took the keys. We split a beer
I said "It's far from over, but it's a real good place to start"
She said "Don't follow me. I'm headed south"
Then she pulled me close and kissed me on the mouth

The ocean smells so welcome where the fishing boats call home
There's no one there but strangers now since we took off on our own
From Gloucester down to Falmouth and the far end of the cape
I'd like to see it one more time before I die
And drift between the ocean and the sky
