A Drop in the Ocean - Ron Pope

I've been burned up by the fire

It makes me wait for you

Been sleeping on my side

The way you used to do

And I know just where you are

You're not so far away

But I can't come to you like this

So I guess I'll stay away

There's things men learn from livin'

Things they learn in hell

Things I learned because my father left

It's probably just as well

Now I've been standing here all by myself

In the pouring rain

I think there's someone I should call right now

But I can't call her name

A drop in the ocean

A change in the weather

I was praying that you and me might end up together

It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert

But I'm holding you closer than most

'Cause you are my heaven

I don't wanna waste the weekend

If you don't love me pretend

A few more hours then it's time to go

As my train rolls down the East coast

I wonder how you keep warm

It's too late to cry too broken to move on

Still I can't let you be

Most nights I hardly sleep

Don't take what you don't need from me

It's just a drop in the ocean

A change in the weather

I was praying that you and me might end up together

It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert

But I'm holding you closer than most

'Cause you are my heaven

Misplaced trust and old friends

Never counting regrets

By the grace of God I do not rest at all

And New England as the leaves change

The last excuse that I'll claim

I was a boy who loved a woman like a little girl

And still I can't let you be

Most nights I hardly sleep

Don't take what you don't need from me

It's just a drop in the ocean

A change in the weather

I was praying that you and me might end up together

It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert

But I'm holding you closer than most

'Cause you are my

Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore no no

Heaven doesn't seem far away

Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore no no

Heaven doesn't seem far away

It's just a drop in the ocean

A change in the weather

I was praying that you and me might end up together
