In my soft bed
Through my dreams
Next to her
I hear the waves
Emeralds and pearls
Rubies and gold
I brought home less
Than I left under the waves
Five times
In a row
I left my home
To stand on a sinking boat
And I know
When the waves
Get a hold, of your heart
They don't let go
They don't let go
She sleeps so sweetly
I wear my soft shoes
So she'll only
Hear the waves
Five times
In a row
I left my home
To stand on a sinking boat
And I know
When the waves
Get a hold, of your heart
They don't let go
They don't let go
