lyrics

Felt you while you were falling
Then you rose today
Arms were opened wide

They called out the questions
Swept them all away
Leviathans inside

And I can’t find you
Ocean Star
My Ocean Star

Because we mapped out the metres
Just to make you pay
Could we honour life inside?

Yes, we saw all your beauty
Like the stars today
They were weightless in this ride

And I can’t find you
Ocean Star
My Ocean Star

Lyrics by Peter Burns

It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago. modestwriggles
