Watching The Waves Lyrics - David Gray

"First verse": 

I'm here watching the waves 

Just how long can it be 

Till that melody strays 

Through my mind and I'm cancelled 

Can't see no wood for the trees 

Can't tell no land for the sky 

When you're in up to your knees 

You soon find out who your friends are 

"Second verse": 

Hmm 

Ah for the taste of it sweet 

One more time from the top 

Thoughts like crumbs in the sheets 

Words thrown as coins in a cup 

Just one more house in the rain 

Just one more spoonful of salt 

And now I'm at it again 

Banging on like it's my fault

"Third verse": 

I gave it all i could give 

I took that ghost for my bride 

Went day by day trying to live 

With my heart on the outside 

I watched the shape of it rise 

To dance like wind through the wheat 

Steal the light from your eyes 

In the space of a heartbeat

Everything you are 

Everything you are 

Everything you are i long to be

Songs that push through the dirt 

Ploughing these roads into fields 

Sounding the notes of the words 

Till everything fills with distance
