Don't you want to go where things move slow?
Give me a little time to take what I know
Follow the oceanline, follow the flow
Give me a little time to take what I know

Oh, and he's calling, but I do not answer
I am hunting for me now, and I must go quietly
And it's a hard way of walking, oh and I know
It's a hard way of talking, oh and I know

Oh, don't let your guard down,
And don't live far from town
Follow the oceanline, follow the flow
Give me a little time to take what I know
Give me a little time to take what I know

Oh, Lordy, Lordy, I am downstairs crying
They try and shush me, but I holler gleefully
In a house made for sleeping, oh and I know
With a mouth made of gold, oh and I know

I see him smile at me, smiling desperately
If only you would trust me, we would live happily
In a house made of silver, oh and I know
In a house made of platinum, oh and I know
Oh, hold the raft at the ready,
Hold it fast, hold it steady
Follow the oceanline, follow the flow
Give me a little time to take what I know
Give me a little time to take what I know
