The Waves - Esmé Patterson

In my soft bed

Through my dreams

Next to her

I hear the waves

Emeralds and pearls

Rubies and gold

I brought home less

Than I left under the waves

Five times

In a row

I left my home

To stand on a sinking boat

And I know

When the waves

Get a hold, of your heart

They don’t let go

They don’t let go

She sleeps so sweetly

I wear my soft shoes

So she’ll only

Hear the waves

Five times

In a row

I left my home

To stand on a sinking boat

And I know

When the waves

Get a hold, of your heart

They don’t let go

They don’t let go
