That's what I need (Original)

Kind of another downer song, but with a bit more of a positive spin on it.
Wanted to call it something like "Get back to the ocean" or something along those lines, but went with the easy out and used the last line of the chorus.
Hope ya like it!

Lyrics:

PASSIN THROUGH THE CITY,
JUST GIVES ME THE BLUES
ESPECIALLY SINCE ITS BEEN SO LONG
SINCE IVE HAD ANY GOOD NEWS
THERES A HAZE OVER THE SKYLINE,
LIKE THE ONE OVER MY HEAD
CLOUDIN UP MY PEACE OF MIND,
JUST HANGIN BY A THREAD.
DRIVIN DOWN THIS NOWHERE ROAD,
WONDERIN WHERE IT JUST MIGHT LEAD
WISH IT COULD TAKE ME TO THE OCEAN
THATS WHAT I NEED

CANT STOP MY MIND FROM DREAMIN
WHEN IM STUCK HERE AT THE LIGHT
ID LOVE TO DRIVE OUT TO THE AIRPORT
AND CATCH A NON-STOP FLIGHT
GET ME TO THE NEAREST HARBOR,
TELL THE CAPTAIN GO FULL SPEED
GET ME OUT THERE ON THE OCEAN
THATS WHAT I NEED

TIRED OF WAITIN ON SOME GOOD NEWS
SO TIRED OF WAITIN FOR THE BREAKS
TIRED OF ALWAYS GIVIN,
IN A WORLD OF GIVE AND TAKE
ITS HIGH TIME I GOT SOMETHIN BACK,
AND I KNOW JUST WHAT IT SHOULD BE.
TO SEE THE SUNRISE ON THE OCEAN,
THATS WHAT I NEED

Thank you so much, and I'm sorry I'm just responding now. I didn't see your comment until this morning.

Thanks much, I did have a Gordon Lightfoot song on here a while back, but I think it was one the copyright folks came after me for. Maybe I'll try it again someday and see if it stays.

Lightfoot cover.
