[Lengthy instrumental intro.]

((I went by the ocean,))

((Somewhere on my mind.))
((It was a dream of someone,))
((Or something)) (I should find.)

That I should find.

[Instrumental break.]


((I daydream there at nighttime,))
((And all day long I find,))

((My thoughts are drifting homeward now.))
(Homeward) ((to my mind.))


[Instrumental break.]

((I went to the seashore,))

((To see what I could see.))
((To see just what my mind would say,))
((While on the sea)) my eyes,

((My eyes would play.))

[Instrumental break.]


I went to the ocean,
(And I tried to hear.)

((But the wind and the waves))
((Crashed 'round my head,))
((And still it wasn't)) it wasn't ((clear.))


[Instrumental break.]


((I daydream there at nighttime,))
((And all day long I find,))
((My thoughts are drifting homeward now.))

(Homeward) ((to my mind.))
