Lyrics

Waves

Watch the waves so far away
They're washing across the paths that I have made

Leaving all my sins, I turn away
Like soaring birds, I watch my sorrows play

Don't you know, I've left and gone away
You're knocking on the door I closed today
And everything looks brighter
Waves at play, just soothe my pain away

Felt so good to see the sun
I choose my time before I choose the wine

Floating across the waves, the silence runs
My thoughts can cure but now my sorrow's done

Don't you know, I've left and gone away
You're knocking on the door I closed today
And everything looks brighter
Waves at play, they soothe my pain away
