[Verse 1]
Its a hell of a long drive to the bay
We sat in silence the entire way
As you pulled over and I grabbed my things to leave
I said I loved you, and I'm not sure that I heard you say it back to me
I took the stairs down to the beach
I found a quiet place where I could rest my head and sleep
I knew that something wasn't right
As the day slowly turned into the night, there was no sign of you at all

[Chorus]
That's the day I lost you, oh the day I lost you to the sea
That's the day I lost you, oh the day I lost you to the sea

[Verse 2]
Its a hell of a long drive to the bay
I take that road now, almost every other day
I walk alone along the shore
I call out to you and I swear I hear you calling back to me once more

[Chorus]
That's the day I lost you, oh the day I lost you to the sea
That's the day I lost you, oh the day I lost you to the sea

[Verse 3]
I am my Father's daughter
Warm blooded in the water
You are your Mother's son
You're a strong swimmer, but this time, the ocean, she won
