Before The Waves Come

VERSE:
Melanie sips lemonade
As her legs hang in the water
I can see the sky across her face
She believes she’s lost without a trace

And she says, I don’t know
But I think I was beautiful
And she cries when she says

CHORUS:
I want to fly
Because I can’t run anymore
I’m so tired
Before the waves come
Maybe then I’ll see
What I can’t believe again

VERSE 2:
Daniel brings a robe
For the lady by the water
Melanie is tattooed across his chest
He survives on love and loneliness

She’s so beautiful
Daniel cries when she says

CHORUS:
I want to fly
Because I can’t run anymore
I’m so tired
Before the waves come
Maybe then I’ll see
What I can’t believe again

BRIDGE:

She says, "Can you see me, Daniel?
Can you reach me baby?
Can you save me darling?"

Before the waves come

I want to fly
Because I can’t run anymore
I’m so tired
Before the waves come
Maybe then I’ll see
What I can’t believe again
