[00:19.05]Once upon a time, there was an ocean
[00:24.04]But now it's a mountain range
[00:28.25]Something unstoppable set into motion
[00:32.91]Nothing is different, but everything's changed
[00:38.17]
[00:46.78]It's a dead-end job, and you get tired of sittin'
[00:51.11]It's like a nicotine habit
[00:53.22]You're always thinkin' about quittin'
[00:55.63]And I think about quittin' everyday of the week
[01:00.21]When I look out my window, it's brown and it's bleak
[01:05.69]Outta here
[01:07.22]How'm I gonna get outta here?
[01:08.98]I'm thinking outta here
[01:11.69]When am I gonna get outta here?
[01:14.74]And when will I cash in my lottery ticket
[01:19.02]And bury my past with my burdens and strife?
[01:23.61]I want to shake every limb in the Garden of Eden
[01:28.58]And make every lover the love of my life
[01:32.83]I figure that once upon a time, I was an ocean
[01:37.88]But now I'm a mountain range
[01:42.71]Something unstoppable set into motion
[01:47.81]Nothing is different, but everything's changed
[01:52.46]
[01:57.42]Found a room in the heart of the city, down by the bridge
[02:01.84]Hot plate and TV and beer in the fridge
[02:05.95]But I'm easy, I'm open–that's my gift
[02:10.31]I can flow with the traffic, I can drift with the drift
[02:15.44]Home again?
[02:17.06]Naw, never going home again
[02:19.48]Think about home again?
[02:21.35]I never think about home
[02:23.66]But then comes a letter from home
[02:29.42]The handwriting's fragile and strange
[02:34.08]Something unstoppable set into motion
[02:38.48]Nothing is different, but everything's changed
[02:44.96]
[02:59.40]The light through the stain glass was cobalt and red
[03:08.21]And the frayed cuffs and collars
[03:12.06]Were mended by halos of golden thread
[03:16.56]The choir sang, "Once Upon a Time There Was an Ocean"
[03:21.58]And all the old hymns and family names
[03:25.97]Came fluttering down leaves of emotion
[03:31.44]As nothing is different, but everything's changed
[03:36.60]
