Just A Wave Lyrics

Just A Wave lyrics



Thirst is not the answer oceans come and go

I loved her seven seas worth Lord I loved her so

But she let me down so easy one slow drop at a time

I would've killed myself but it made no sense

Commitin' suicide in self defense But I lost everything I brought her

When she said babe you're just a wave you're not the water



Centuries ago we were living on the gold coast

She was still in love with a long gone cold ghost

I was only trying to turn back the tide of her tears

I felt like an endless ocean rolling through the fog

Full emotion drifting like a weather beaten log

I even thought that I out-thought her

Till she said babe you're just a wave you're not the water

[ steel ]

I said someday we'll love again then you'll know the score

I've taught you everything I know and maybe even more

That's true she said more than you ever will

I said I've been your raging river precious African queen

I've shown you everything that I've ever seen

But she knew more than I had taught her

When she said babe you're just a wave you're not the water

[ ac.guitar ]

Well I followed her far and wide with all of my will

Water on the move you know it never stands still

And I moved every muscle just to prove it can be done

Then up some old sad river where snow white lilies float

I came to her for mercy but I hardly rocked the boat

She seemed surprised that I had caught her

But she said babe you're just a wave you're not the water

She said babe you're just a wave you're not the water
