Rocks In the Ocean

On a night just like this, in a place far away
 He met with a giri in the spring
 And something about him just turned her around
 As though she were caught on a string
 And being so young they held on to each other
 To see what the moment might bring
 He loved her then in a secretive way
 Not showing his care or his need
 She stayed beside him and looked to the day
 He would somehow begin to be free
 In the chill of the night she would hold him and say
 This is how they always should be
 Rocks in the ocean, waves on the sea
 Keep it in mind,
 If love comes unsatisfied, don't forget me
 Don't forget me
 And so he come to depend on her more
 Though the lesson was still to be learned,
 Taking for granted the gift that she gave
 As though it were something he'd earned
 And she for her part growing slowly away
 From a love that was never returned
 Then came the day that he never foresaw
 When he woke to find she was gone
 He followed her then to the ends of the world
 To tell her how much he'd been wrong
 But the more he called her, the more she was lost
 Leaving only the words of her song
 Rocks in the ocean, waves on the sea
 Keep it in mind,
 If love comes unsatisfied, don't forget me
 Don't forget me
 He still listens out for her foot on the stair
 As he looks for her down through the years
 And the friends that he had have all left one by one
 For their words weren't reaching his ears
 He chooses instead now to wander alone
 To a song that only he hears
 Rocks in the ocean, waves on the sea
 Keep it in mind,
 If love comes unsatisfied, don't forget me
 Don't forget me
