lyrics

WAVES DON’T ABIDE

Holy water, wash my eyes
Take these stones, from my sight
Give me something
More than this

And the stones cry out



In the valley, of today
Concrete pulsing, my life to gray
Feet please take me
From this place

And the skies cry out

Let it go
Be the wave
Don’t you stay here in my arms

Let the wind
Hit your back
And take you out

Cause I will not
Stand still
See the water
With the tide
Ain’t nothin
If the waves
Don’t abide

15 odd years, in this graveyard
Slaving through this job each day
Pressures mount
Needs fill out
And I want to cry out

Let it go
Be the wave
Don’t you stay here
In my arms

Let the wind
Hit your back
And take you out

Cause I will not
Stand still
See the water
With the tide
Ain’t nothing
If the waves
Don’t abide

Pick up your axe
That you’re buryin
Don’t you wanna fly
