Michael Tomlinson Waves
Sea in motion, wind has filled my sails Full of power and direction too As if I had a job to do Don't I know coldness in this gale? And don't I need to get my mind off you Or lose myself in ocean blue And sail around this ocean in a circle Without measuring my pace While this crescent of a moon is surely calling For the power of my faith Sing to me another siren song With a melody from in this sea The wind and waves for harmony You don't know me yet you call my name I can hear it on the ocean breeze If ever it was meant for me To sail around this ocean in a circle Without measuring my pace While crescent of a moon is surely calling For the power of my faith And the waves, oh they spray me down As if water was the only sound And I was meant to drown in their song I can hear your flute, as I gaze into the water blue But I will not go down for long Years ago or in another life There was something of the sea in me Ever flowing, ever free Anyway, I should have known by now That it's time for me to change my ways Or seek my truth beneath the waves And sail around this ocean in a circle Without measuring my pace Oh to never know the answer to my question Would not be a lonely fate And the waves, oh they spray me down As if water was the only sound And I was meant to drown in their song I can hear your flute, as I gaze into the water blue But I will not go down for long I will not go down for long
