If porcelain was your face then you were a child of the candle
Sleeping in a raincoat in the she'd
To awake like fire from the coal and fog inside your head

And you wanted to sleep through morning
But the sun you love denies
And you want to be a child but your Father's ghost replies:

"It's coming up behind you child, to show you where you lost -
When your way of letting go was your last chance to hold on"

Chorus:
You keep me running like the engine of the ocean
I'd trade all the salt for some emotion
You keep me running like the engine of the ocean
I'd trade all the salt for some emotion

Now you find me on a line of the water and the land
Where the ocean breaks into rocks
That only become the sand
A sky whispering down on the beach
But I forget that it's all out of reach now

(Chorus)

And you could have found me on a line of the water and the land
I'm just like the rocks that only break into sand
And you, oh you could find me now
Running, running down now

(Chorus)
You're just the engine of the ocean now
Engine of the ocean now
