Dave Matthews - Waves Drift Ashore lyrics

Waves drift ashore And wash away the white dress that you wore In days when you were young inside And wiped away the tears of darkness from my eyes And cleansed away the fears behind my empty eyes Where have you gone? Birds dip and glide Silently they scan the barren skies And waters dark and deep You didn't see me, nor did you realize Oh why was it you never realized How far you'd gone? And how the waves embraced you You lay down between them, disappearing from my eyes Swallowed up so quickly, that I knew that I just had to run away Will I ever see you? Forever is a longer time than we can know Sleeping softly in the ocean's silent womb I won't disturb you telling of my simple woes And how a young boy dreamed the same dream long ago And still today And how the waves embraced you You lay down between them, disappearing from my eyes Swallowed up so quickly, that I knew that I just had to run away
