Lyrics

Incoming Waves

[Verse 1]

Great day for walking

Among the graves

Watch the sun reflecting

On the incoming waves

[Chorus]

All I've got is time

To think about the moment it went wrong

No chance to put it right

No chance to prove I could be strong

[Verse 2]

Across the ocean

From far away

Thoughts of you come rolling

On the incoming waves

[Chorus]

All I've got is time

To think about the moment it went wrong

No chance to put it right

No chance to prove I could be strong

All I've got is time

To dwell upon the threshold that you crossed

No chance to even fight

No way to salvage what was lost

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]

All I've got is time

To think about the moment it went wrong

No chance to put it right

No chance to prove I could be strong

All I've got is time

To dwell upon the threshold that you crossed

No chance to even fight

No way to salvage what was lost

[Outro]

Great day for walking

Among the graves

Ash – Teenage Wildlife: 25 Years of Ash

A perfect reminder of one of the most under-rated bands of the 90s.
