Lyrics
The Farthest Wave
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
My work is done for this long day, the sun sets on the strand
My mind is as unsettled as my feet upon the sand
This is the ground I cannot hold, it rolls away from me
My heart is on the farthest wave, a boat upon the sea
Chorus:
Moving out to you, moving out to you
My heart is on the farthest wave moving out to you
Sometimes I hear you say my name, you steal into my sleep
And stir the sea inside of me, the longing running deep
I have enough to see me through, do you have all you need?
My heart is on the farthest wave, I cannot stop the sea
(Chorus)
I have enough to see me through, do you have all you need?
My heart is on the farthest wave, I cannot stop the sea
(Chorus)
