They call, but we’re too far

Intro
Soft finger-picking on acoustic guitar, gentle, slow tempo, creating a reflective and sorrowful mood.

Verse 1
I saw the ocean dressed in grey,
Waves of smoke took the blue away,
Fishermen sail, but they don’t return,
The fires grow, and the waters burn.

Chorus
Oceans of smoke, skies full of lies,
We used to swim where the sunlight dies,
Now we drift in the haze we’ve made,
Chasing dreams that will never fade.

Verse 2
I can’t remember the color green,
Lost in the ash of what’s unseen,
The tides, they whisper in fading cries,
While the world, it burns before our eyes.

Bridge
Where do we go when the water’s gone?
Who do we blame when the light is wrong?
The earth is crying, but we move slow,
Our hands are full, but we don’t know.

Chorus
Oceans of smoke, skies full of lies,
We used to swim where the sunlight dies,
Now we drift in the haze we’ve made,
Chasing dreams that will never fade.

Outro
The waves, they call, but we’re too far,
Smoke is all that hides the stars.
