Don't you want to go where things move slow?
give me a little time to take what i know
follow the oceanline, follow the flow
give me a little time to take what i know
Oh, and he's calling, but i do not answer
i am hunting for me now, and i must go quietly
and it's a hard way of walking, oh and i know
it's a hard way of talking, oh and i know
Oh, don't let your guard down,
and don't live far from town
follow the oceanline, follow the flow
give me a little time to take what i know
give me a little time to take what i know
Oh, lordy, lordy, i am downstairs crying
they try and shush me, but i holler gleefully
in a house made for sleeping, oh and i know
with a mouth made of gold, oh and i know
I see him smile at me, smiling desperately
if only you would trust me, we would live happily
in a house made of silver, oh and i know
in a house made of platinum, oh and i know
oh, hold the raft at the ready,
hold it fast, hold it steady
follow the oceanline, follow the flow
give me a little time to take what i know
give me a little time to take what i know
