Another song about being jilted by a lover, but with intense bitterness and angst

Ocean of Tears

Ocean of tears
Washin’ down my brow
Ocean of tears
You’re gonna make me drown

All the things that you want
Are like water
Swim against the tide
End up in the gutter
Cause you know
It just don’t matter
Now


Ocean of tears
You put me in my place
River of tears
Washin down my face

All my stocks and bonds
You control me
My credit cards and my cash
You own me
Even my own friends
Don’t know me
Now

Ocean of tears
I can’t take it no more
Ocean of tears
Caught in your undertow
Ocean of tears
I can’t take it no more
Ocean of tears
Caught in your undertow

All my friends and my allies
Despise you
Your own friends
Don’t recognize you
Even my dog and my fish
Don’t like you

Now


Ocean of Tears
Now the dike has broke
Ocean of tears
Now I have no hope

In the port of Hong Kong
They know you
In the streets of Saigon
They sold you
Nothing I can do to hold you
Now

Ocean of Tears
