Waves Lyrics by Phish
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
How is it I never see
The waves that bring me her words to me
for though unseen they drift around
they catch my breath and knock me down

I feel them quickly swirling by
As they withdraw with my reply
And slip into the dark of night
As I attemt to stay upright

Instead I'm stranded on my knees
As words depart upon the breeze
That quickly drifts away from here
And possibly won't reach her ear

If we could see the many waves
that flow through clouds and sunken caves
She'd sense at least the words that sought her
on the winds of the underwater
How is it I never see   The waves that bring me her words to me   for though unseen they drift around   they catch my breath and knock me down      I feel them quickly swirling by   As they withdraw with my reply   And slip into the dark of night   As I attemt to stay upright      Instead I'm stranded on my knees   As words depart upon the breeze   That quickly drifts away from here   And possibly won't reach her ear      If we could see the many waves   that flow through clouds and sunken caves   She'd sense at least the words that sought her   on the winds of the underwater
