The 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.
I stood there still
As a wave came and washed on by
I watched as change came
To change me before it said goodbye
It broke my body
As it crashed into my sleeping mind
I tossed I turned as I learned to let it wash on by
Just got to take your time
I'll see you on the other side
A wave she came and washed away all the ground I was standing on
But the ground was shaking anyhow
It took your breath and dragged you down
But you kept swimming anyhow
I'll see you on the other side
I'll see you on the other side
A 36 foot feeling's overwhelming me
Just let the waves come crashing down
I'll see you on the other side
Just let the waves come crashing down
Let it wash over top of your life
Let it wash over top of your life
Let it wash over top of your life
