She told him not to worry
G C
Said he'd be fine when she was gone
[Chorus]

He walks down to the ocean
Am G
Bends to touch the water, kneels to pray

He writes her name in the sand
G C
Waves wash it away

There are seagulls circling shrimp boats

That turn inside the bay
C F
There's an emptiness inside

That never goes away

He walks down to the ocean
Am G
Bends to touch the water, kneels to pray

Waves wash it away

So many laughs, so many tears

He walks down to the ocean
Am G
Bends to touch the water, kneels to pray

Waves wash it away

He writes her name in the sand

Waves wash it away
