Ocean
Stowers & Young Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the jungle land
With the sea and the sand
Can I meet you there?

We'll be drinkin' bananas
From long tall glasses
In the open air
Ocean girl
Come 'round the world
From forgotten shores

There'll be music playin'
What no words could say
When you first get there

We'll be lost in a corner
That we find in each other
There' so much to share

Ocean girl
Come 'round the world
From forgotten shores

Ocean girl
Come 'round the world
From forgotten shores

Ocean girl
Come 'round the world
From forgotten shores

Ocean girl
Ocean girl
Ocean girl (ocean girl)
Ocean girl

Ocean girl




Come 'round the world
From forgotten shores
