| I hear the waves break shore
|
| Like they always have
|
| A wild ceaseless song
|
| I dreamt your face
|
| When you were still inside
|
| And how your yellow hair would catch the light
|
| And the days move slow
|
| But the years do know
|
| That time couldn’t move any faster
|
| Time couldn’t move any faster
|
| When you passed through me
|
| I passed through a door
|
| Of letting go of everything that came before
|
| And I know now
|
| What every mother knows
|
| Of what it is to watch your heart escape your chest
|
| And the days move slow
|
| But the years do know
|
| That time couldn’t move any faster
|
| Time couldn’t move any faster
|
| When the sun is set
|
| On my final hour
|
| Will you find me in the water’s wild ceaseless song
|
| And in your face
|
| I see my father’s eyes
|
| And in your daughter’s eyes you may see me
|
| Staring at the open sea
|
| Staring at the open sea
|
| But the days move slow
|
| And the years do know
|
| That time couldn’t move any faster
|
| Time couldn’t move any faster |
