I sit alone along the bay To stare at islands far away Their grey and misty outlines Appear way out to sea But clouds are never what they seem And soon the winds dissolve my dream I do believe this ocean is far too wide for me With Hawai'i on my mind And someone there I left behind I wish that there were some way To walk across the sea It seems to me I always lose When fighting these lonesome Blues I do believe this ocean is far too wide for me I wish I could be watching those blue waters flow As the trade-winds blow all the clouds away And you would there, sweet and lovely by my side As the seabirds glide and the palm trees away I wish I could be watching those blue waters flow As the trade-winds blow all the clouds away You'd be there, sweet and lovely by my side As the seabirds glide and the palm trees away But there is little I can do Except to dream when feeling blue It seems that there are some things That are not meant to be As I get up, I feel a chill This place needs getting used to still I do believe this ocean is far too wide for me.
