I hear the waves break shore Like they always have A wild ceaseless song I dreamt your face When you were still inside
And how your yellow hair would catch the light
And the days move slow But the years do know That time couldn´t move any faster Time couldn´t move any faster
When you passed through me I passed through a door Of letting go of everything that came before And I know now What every mother knows Of what it is to watch your heart escape your chest
And the days move slow But the years do know That time couldn´t move any faster
Time couldn´t move any faster
When the sun is set On my final hour Will you find me in the water´s wild ceaseless song And in your face I see my father´s eyes And in your daughter´s eyes you may see me Staring at the open sea Staring at the open sea
But the days move slow And the years do know That time couldn´t move any faster Time couldn´t move any faster
