lyrics

I had an inkling that life would never be the same
Claudia be thy name
My heart swelled like a whale.

Just when I thought that I had no more love to share
Charlie you were there
The whale swam through the sky.

The ocean can’t hold my love
Nor even the sky above.

My God, it seemed like the sun shone its brightest yet
It was Rosie that I met
The whale made the world stand still

The ocean can’t hold my love
Nor even the sky above

Let the rain fall down, overflow this sea
There’s no wall that can hold us in.
Let me count the stars ‘til the sun comes up
We’re gonna ride this whale as each day begins.

The ocean can’t hold my love
Nor even the sky above.
