作词 : Brian Eno/Paul Simonv 作曲 : Brian Eno/Paul Simon Once upon a time, there was an ocean But now it's a mountain range Something unstoppable set into motion Nothing is different, but everything's changed
It's a dead-end job, and you get tired of sittin' It's like a nicotine habit You're always thinkin' about quittin' And I think about quittin' everyday of the week When I look out my window, it's brown and it's bleak Outta here How'm I gonna get outta here? I'm thinking outta here When am I gonna get outta here? And when will I cash in my lottery ticket And bury my past with my burdens and strife? I want to shake every limb in the Garden of Eden And make every lover the love of my life I figure that once upon a time, I was an ocean But now I'm a mountain range Something unstoppable set into motion Nothing is different, but everything's changed
Found a room in the heart of the city, down by the bridge Hot plate and TV and beer in the fridge But I'm easy, I'm open–that's my gift I can flow with the traffic, I can drift with the drift Home again? Naw, never going home again Think about home again? I never think about home But then comes a letter from home The handwriting's fragile and strange Something unstoppable set into motion Nothing is different, but everything's changed
The light through the stain glass was cobalt and red And the frayed cuffs and collars Were mended by halos of golden thread The choir sang, "Once Upon a Time There Was an Ocean" And all the old hymns and family names Came fluttering down leaves of emotion As nothing is different, but everything's changed
