watch the waves come
and pound the boat

see the storm coming
and we hope

that these moments
will keep us hanging on
and on and on

theres no break here
for us to get some rest

we're so tired
we swear we've done our best

the boat it rocks us
to sleep

the place where
us dreamers can dream deep
and deep and deep and deep
we go

she turned to me
with salty lips

and I ached for
just one more kiss

but she seemed
so
far
away

and I hadn't the energy left
to say

how I loved
every moment that we had, every thought
that came to my head
was of her

watch the waves turn
and push the boat

see the storm overhead
and how we hope

that in these moments
we'll make it out alive

if I said that I needed anything else
it was a lie

I can feel the sunlight breaking through the clouds
where did it come from
I know that we've made it out now
time for fun

we're a little thrown off course
but we'll find our way back
and finally I hear that bird
and her most beautiful laugh

theres no more waves pushing us
into that place
where no one will remember where we came from
theres no more waves pushing us
into that place
where we get lost

and I know that the sunlight means
that we have been rescued
just like in our dreams
and I know that the sunlight means
that we have been rescued
just like in our dreams
