If I Only Knew

By Bruce Clifford

When the sea calls me
The ocean of blue
I can never decide the right words to say
If I only knew

When the waves are crashing
Out of the blue
I could never tell which road to take
If I only knew

If I only had the faith to believe
If I only could see what everyone sees
If I only followed my faith in dreams
If I only knew
If I only believed

When the darkness whispers
When looniness calls
All these silent defenses
Climbing up these walls
When the sea calls me
The space with a view
I can never revive this endless compromise
If I only knew

If I only had the faith to believe
If I only could see what everyone sees
If I only followed my faith in dreams
If I only knew
If I only believed

When the sea calls me
The ocean of blue
I can never decide the right words to say
If I only knew
