WHEN THE SEVENTH WAVE HIT I WAS UNDER PREPARED SUDDENLY OFF BALANCE I WAS SUDDENLY SCARED AND I DROPPED MY GUITAR AND I LOST MY BREATH BUT THE THOUGHT OF YOUR ARMS PULLING ME FROM THERE AND UP LAUGHING AT THE CLUMSY OLD MAN ID BECOME I WAS SORRY I WAS THANKFUL AND I WAS SMILING TOO ITS JUST WATER AFTER ALLS SAID AND DONE
AND MY FEET ON THESE STONES AND MY HAND IN YOUR HAIR YOUR PALE SKIN EXPOSED YOUR FINE HIPS LAID BARE IN THE EVENING RIGHT BY THE RIVERSIDE THE LAST OF THE LIGHT THE DAY UNTIES COMES UNDONE AND UNWINDS NIGHT FALLS LOW AND TO SWEET HOME WE GO YOU AND I ITS NOT FAR BUT JUST ENOUGH OF A RIDE TO MEASURE THE TIME GOING FAST
AND I COUNTED THE TRAMS IN THE RAIN YESTERDAY AND THEY RAN JUST THE SAME AS THEY DO EVERYDAY HE SAID YOU'RE A STUBBORN ONE SON AND YOU'RE TOO MUCH LIKE ME AND I WORRY FOR YOU BECAUSE OF THESE THINGS BUT THERE IT IS AS IT GOES AND I COULD DO WITH REMEMBERING MORE OF WHAT HE TOLD BUT THE BEST OF WHATS LEFT IT IS YOURS AND YOURS ALONE AND BUT ILL HELP WITH THE LOAD MY DEAR
IT CANT BE ALL BAD IT CANT BE ALL WRONG IT CANT BE ALL SAD OR WED NEVER GET ALONG AND I REMEMBER YOU SMILING I REMEMBER YOU WELL YOU WERE FULL IN THE SOUTHERN SUNSHINE MY GIRL MY LADY MY ONE YOU SOFTEN THE BLOWS AND GOODNESS KNOWS THEY DO FLY AND DO HURT AND I WAS NEVER MORE CAREFUL BUT STILL THE DIRT UNDER FINGERNAILS DOES SHOW
