It's blocking out the sun The cold wind off the sea And I'm gasping for air But you won't talk to me I'm struggling for words To shout above this din But the marine layer, the marine layer Is rolling in, rolling in I step into the tide And hear the ocean roar I turn and look behind But you're still on the shore I try to catch your eye To see me once again But the marine layer, the marine layer Is rolling in, rolling in I know that a million years have come and gone And time polishes rocks and stones we're stepping on
But I'm feeling the pull of the moon upon my heart And I don't have a way to tell you, tell you I can't start I sink into the sand And hold my feelings in But if I were to speak Where would I begin And though the sun is bright The light begins to dim As the marine layer, the marine layer Comes rolling in, rolling in As the marine layer, the marine layer Comes rolling in, rolling in Rolling in (rolling in) Rolling in (rolling in) Rolling in (rolling in)
