Waves grow
They get sullen
And they're clawing after me
And the cliffs in sunny skies glow
They shine golden
But they're slate and gray and mean
And I keep feeling like I see you
But I can't do
Because there's nothing left to see
The hissing ocean's so demanding
She wants offerings
Take it mother, take it from me
Did he jump? Did he fall? I'll never know
Purify these ashes with your salt
What you gave you take away so greedily
It's only by my will when you do not
Winds grow
The sky's swollen
And it's threatening to bleed
And the waves in sunny skies roll
On sand golden
Now they're livid black machines
And I keep wishing I could ask you
What did you do?
But you couldn't answer me
The angry ocean's so abusive
She wants you back
Take him mother, take him from me
Did he jump? Did he crawl? I'll never know
Purify these ashes with your salt
What you gave you take away so easily
It's only by my will when you do not
