lyrics

BEFORE THE CRASHING WAVES


Seashell child combing the beach
Before the crashing waves
All the world just out of reach
Before the crashing waves
Were they mocking me babe
Were they mocking me

Soon enough I took my fill
Before the crashing waves
Dancing madly lying still
Before the crashing waves
Were they mocking me babe
Were they mocking me
Looking for asylum

Mother confessor lover wife
Before the crashing waves
The same ones that took your life
Before the crashing waves
Were they mocking me babe
Were they mocking me
Looking for asylum

Did you know I called your name
Before the crashing waves
You answered it’s all the same
Before the crashing waves
Were they mocking me babe
Were they mocking me
Looking for asylum

Now it’s all philosophy
Before the crashing waves
So far, impossibly
Before the crashing waves
Are they mocking me babe
Are they mocking me
Are they mocking me babe
Should’ve been a siren
