Watching the Waves

I'm here watching the waves Just how long can it be 'Til that melody strays Through my mind and I'm cancelled Can't see no wood for the trees Can't tell the land from the sky When you're in up to your knees You soon find out who your friends are Ah for the taste of it sweet One more time from the top Thoughts like crumbs in the sheets Words thrown like coins in a cup Just one more house in the rain Just one more spoonful of salt And now I'm at it again Banging on like it's my fault Everything you are Everything you are Everything you are, I long to be Everything you are Everything you are Everything you are, I long to be I gave it all I could give I took that ghost for my bride Went day by day trying to live With my heart on the outside I watched the shape of it rise To dance like wind through the wheat And steal the light from your eyes In the space of a heartbeat Everything fills with distance Yeah, everything Everything you are Everything you are Everything you are, I long to be Everything you are Everything you are Everything you are, I long to be Everything you are Everything you are Everything you are, I long to be Everything you are Everything you are Everything you are, I long to be Songs that push through the dirt Ploughing these roads into fields Sounding the notes of the words 'Til everything fills with distance --- Watching the Waves - David Gray
