"Ocean Of Noise" lyrics - CALEXICO

In an ocean of noise I first heard your voice
Ringing like a bell as if I had a choice, oh, well
Left in the morning while you were fast asleep
Into an ocean of violence, a world of empty streets

You've got your reasons and me, I've got mine
But all the reasons I gave were just lies to buy myself some time

In an ocean of noise I first heard your voice
Now who here among us still believes in choice? Not I
No way of knowing what any man will do
An ocean of violence between me and you

You've got your reasons and me, I've got mine
But all the reasons I gave were just lies to buy myself some time

I'm gonna work it out 'cause time won't work it out
I'm gonna work it out 'cause time won't work it out for you
I'm gonna work it out 'cause time won't work it out
I'm gonna work it out 'cause time won't work it out for you
I'm gonna work it on out
