lyrics
Long, long did I
Wait for that boat to show
A white fleck on the ocean
But instead
I watched
As the storm came in stages
Broken bottles on waves
I’m older now
And as the sea
And my belly
Did churn in kind
A few quiet friends
Took my side
And I recalled that day
Your sly pinch
The shuffling crowd
What we avowed
The scattered, shy applause
As thrown petals fell
And we stepped out
But it was rain not flowers there
That I pulled through my mussed hair
As the sea grew vicious
And our horizon disappeared
Oh where are you?
What did you see?
When the waves came
Did you call for me?
As I stood on that shore
A still point in the storm
As the thunder clapped
As the sky collapsed
I faced the sea
That strange, familiar thing
Still beautiful though raging
It showed me an eternity
It showed me an oblivion
But I’ve my memories
And you are borne upon them
Now every time the rain begins
Those petals fall down on me
Those petals fall again
And I, yes I
I can try
To love you all my life
To love you all my life
To love these stormy days
To let the waves remake your face
Though it’s always slightly changed
Enough of you remains
Enough of you remains
Enough of you remains
Broken bottles on the waves
Broken bottles on the waves
Broken bottles
Broken bottles
On the waves
Wait for that boat to show
A white fleck on the ocean
But instead
I watched
As the storm came in stages
Broken bottles on waves
I’m older now
And as the sea
And my belly
Did churn in kind
A few quiet friends
Took my side
And I recalled that day
Your sly pinch
The shuffling crowd
What we avowed
The scattered, shy applause
As thrown petals fell
And we stepped out
But it was rain not flowers there
That I pulled through my mussed hair
As the sea grew vicious
And our horizon disappeared
Oh where are you?
What did you see?
When the waves came
Did you call for me?
As I stood on that shore
A still point in the storm
As the thunder clapped
As the sky collapsed
I faced the sea
That strange, familiar thing
Still beautiful though raging
It showed me an eternity
It showed me an oblivion
But I’ve my memories
And you are borne upon them
Now every time the rain begins
Those petals fall down on me
Those petals fall again
And I, yes I
I can try
To love you all my life
To love you all my life
To love these stormy days
To let the waves remake your face
Though it’s always slightly changed
Enough of you remains
Enough of you remains
Enough of you remains
Broken bottles on the waves
Broken bottles on the waves
Broken bottles
Broken bottles
On the waves
