Jay Ducharme - Waves Lyrics

Soon the tide will change

I rest my body
On the warm white beach
And let the rolling ocean
Wash in over me
I've watched the water
Uncounted days
There's something out there
Floating on the waves

It drifts so slowly
So far from my reach
A falling tide has drawn it
Out into the sea
The rising moon dimly passes
Through another phase
There's something out there
Floating on the waves

It circles near
But never tries to land
And as it moves
Time is slipping from my hands
Stranded on this island
Where the ocean seems so strange
I have to practice patience

Soon the tide will change

I know I saw it
Closer to the shore
But it moved off
Now I can't see it anymore
And though it disappears behind the evening haze
I know it's somewhere out there
Floating on the waves

Soon the tide will change
