[Intro] (x2)
A E D E
[Verse]
A E D E
Your long blonde hair and eyes of baby blue
A E D E
Bright colors never fading
A E D E
The blush of childhood on your downy cheek
A E D E
The days of hide-and-seek
A E D E
The secret places we arranged to be
A E D E
The things you felt but couldn't see
A E D E
The sandy footprints as you shyly fled Oh no...
A E D E
Now summer's gone away we are older
[Pre-Chorus]
A E D E
Where have you been what have you done till now?
A E D E
You're a woman a woman tell me
A E D
What do you mean that you're a woman at last?
E A E D
How many arms have been around you?
E A
Did they change you in the past?
E D E
So what don't tell me you're moving too fast
A E D E
Do you remember tossed in waves of white?
A E D E
Green stones where water flows free?
A E D E
What color are your eyes speckled in light?
A E D E
I'll never ask you'll never tell me
[Chorus]
A E D E
Oh sad old ocean sad old ocean jaded sea
A E D E
You were as pure as the innocence in me
A E D E
Oh sad old ocean sad old ocean jaded sea
A E D E
You were as pure as the innocence in me
[Verse]
The bicycles
A E D E
We left abandoned on the top of the hill
A E D E
Lying together under the trees
A E D E
Flowers the pages of your scrapbook fill
A E D
So happy in that summer breeze
A E D E
An awkward silence that you seem to fear
A E D E
A look i couldn't understand
A E D E
The flowers falling as i draw near Oh no...
A E D E
Don't hold me back don't raise your hand
[Pre-Chorus]
A E D E
Where have you been what have you done till now?
A E D E
You're a woman a woman tell me
A E D
What do you mean that you're a woman at last?
E A E D
How many arms have been around you?
E A
Did they change you in the past?
E D E
So what don't tell me you're moving too fast
A E D E
Can you recall the waves and summer skies?
A E D E
The spray from surfing in the sea?
A E D E
What light flickers deep in your eyes?
A E D E
Is the flame still burning? I can't see
[Chorus]
A E D E
Oh sad old ocean sad old ocean jaded sea
A E D E
You were as pure as the innocence in me
A E D E
Oh sad old ocean sad old ocean jaded sea
A E D E
You were as pure as the innocence in me
[Outro]
A E D E A E
When the bright rays of the morning sun burst into the night
D E A E
The early day breaks over us with clear warm light
D E A E
The shadows and the phantoms of the dark turn into trees and blossoms
D E
Truth once more rejects the lies
A E D E
And love becomes the light that's shining still in your eyes
A E D E (x2)
