Ocean Hill by Leo Lovechild

Well, I went to see my girl down in Ocean Hill,
And the daffodils were dead upon her windowsill.
She's selling overtime for nothing trying to pay her bills,
Yeah it's a long hard road, but she loves me still.

And I've been holding down a job teaching first world skills,
Trying to never quit the music but put down the pills.
And I ain't interested in nothing 'til I get my fill,
Except for you and me tonight down in Ocean Hill, don't you know!

Well, there've been times I don't know when my lonesome nights will end,
And there've been times when I can't get away from all my friends.
But when I look into your eyes sometimes I get the sense
You might be waiting for me someday up around the bend, baby.

Won't you chase me 'round the map again,
Like a junkie for his heroin?
'Cause when it comes to us two, I just want to be your man.

Well, one day I'm gonna have myself a wife and kids,
We'll get a house up in the mountains where the sun comes in.
And if you tell me that I'm dreaming you might do me in,
But girl then what would there be left for us to believe in, baby?

Won't you chase me 'round the map again,
Like a junkie for his heroin?
'Cause when it comes to us two, I just want to be your man,
And I'm hoping I still can.

I wanna go now
Down to Ocean Hill,
'Cause that's where I'll get my fill, aw baby,
Down in Ocean Hill.
