The Wave - Floater

I was borne upon that wave where no one goes

No one goes

I was borne into that light the highway shows

Soon you won’t be waiting

Soon you’ll only be with me

Not another soul will be there

Oh just you wait and see

Oh please don’t be fooled by everything that you see

You know that all these distractions won’t ever come back for me

They won’t come back for me

You’re in the back of the line just biding your time

Hang on

Just like the taste of the wine, you know it’s better with time

Hang on

When they tell you the price

Mask your surprise

Hang on

So just get back on the road, get back in the car

If they light up your fuse, you’ll shine like a star

And I get back on the track, get back on the train

If you give me a spade, I’ll bury your pain

And all the flowers that grow from that fertile grave

Will be blue as the ocean and they’ll look like the wave I rode

Oh please don’t be fooled by everything that you see

All these distractions won’t ever come back for me

Oh they won’t come back for me

You’re in the back of the line and you’re biding your time

Hang on

Like the taste of the wine, it’s better with time

Hang on

When they tell you the price

Mask your surprise

Hang on

Precious things and worthless trifles guarded by young men with rifles

Watch the tide come take them all away.

Take them all away
