When I was young we were livin in the country,
south of Austin in the hills of Bear Creek,
and you can follow that water to the Texas Colorado
and there on out to Matagorda Beach.
I hear the ocean, I hear the waves, I hear the music they make...
Lookin' for arrowheads by the old windmill,
scratchin our names in the rust with our knives,
thunderstorms gatherin on the wester hills,
laughin in the lightnin and runnin for our lives.
I hear the wind, I hear the rain, I hear the music they make...
Moonlight shinin in the thick thick night,
smokestack lightnin, bells like gold,
dawn come risin in the thin thin light,
I know I still have what I cannot still hold.
I hear the dawn, I hear the day, I hear the music they make...
I hear the wind, I hear the rain, I hear the music they make...
I hear the ocean, I hear the waves, I hear the music they make...
