and the waves go by

about

you're standing at a strong seashore, white sand below your boots, a cool winter-morning breeze over your face. there is not a soul in sight as you listen and watch the waves go by.

this is the first (real) song i ever wrote.

lyrics

you're standing on a beach,
there's not a soul in sight.
the breeze is cool, the sand is white
as you watch the waves go by.

you see a sailboat's fin
pop up out of the endless blue.
an adventurer who knows
the land beyond the sky like few.

and the waves go by.
and the waves go by,
in the land beyond the sky
the waves go by.

clouds pile up above you,
around the endless azure sky.
big fluffy ones, long stringy ones,
all music to the eye.

the ground is a huge mirror,
in all directions a deep blue dye.
yet, you feel at peace,
in this land beyond the sky.

and the waves go by.
and the waves go by,
in this land beyond the sky
the waves go by.

the sea is black, the sky is gray,
you can't see the sun, but you feel it's there.
there is no breeze at this forgotten bay
and there's an sea smell in the air.

out of the sea jut out tall islands.
you stand on one, the foliage dark.
the walls are black, the sand is coarse.
you are alone, a tiny white mark.

and still the waves go by.
and the waves go by.
in this land beyond the sky,
the waves go by.

here you are,
your final destination.
the magical town
of the fabled cloud sailors.

and as you gaze through the clouds
upon the sun's cremation,
you realize
that you have reached the end.

but still the waves go by.
and the waves go by.
in this land beyond the sky,
the waves go by.
and the waves go by.
and the waves go by.
