I Count the Waves

I have done this
I have done that
Pushed across a battlefield
Like a pawn by a maniac
And mostly by myself

I hunted high
I hunted low
Always in search of something
I know now I didn't know
I couldn't know

I look across the bay
I count the waves
I count the waves

I searched the sun
I searched the moon
Always sure to find
The only one solution soon
Explain to me soon

I have done this
I have done that
Sometimes one step forward
Sometimes one step back
Or back and forth or - well

I look across the bay
I count the waves
I count the waves

This world is crazy
Beyond belief
Stumbling forward aimlessly
Through a world of steel and concrete
Far from hope
Of sweet redemption
With much more luck
Than bold intention
My life meandered
Along the steep hills
Of my bleeding heart
Looking back
I am astonished
Like a candle in the dark
How much is left of me

I look across the bay
I count the waves
I count the waves

I look across the bay
I look across the bay
I count the waves
How the waves come rolling in
On and on they're rolling in
I count the waves

I look across the bay
I look across the bay
I count the waves
How the waves come rolling in
On and on they're rolling in
I count the waves
