Lyrics
[Verse] I was standing by the ocean I was standing by the ocean I was standing by the ocean I was standing by the ocean By the ocean I was standing by the ocean when I saw your face I couldn't look at you I know she knew it, but I never realised That we were through And now I'm down here all alone With every feeling that I own You can't take that away And with every breath we take And the illusions we create Will come to you someday [Chorus] And I was touched By the hand of God I never knew it But of course I was [Verse] I never hoped to do the things in this world That I wanted to Because everything I own It belongs to you And I never looked at you in a sexual way In my life before But then I've never woken up like this So desperately before [Chorus] And I was touched By the hand of God I never knew it But of course I was [Outro] And I was touched By the hand of God I never knew it But of course I was [Instrumental Outro]
