Wild Ceaseless Song - Alela Diane

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
