Lost in the Waves Lyrics
[Verse 1]
At the edge of the Atlantic
I can't bring myself to swim
I choked back the tears for twenty-two years
Drowning in shadows of him
The waves etch out a pattern
Long after they're gone
The lines that trace they quickly erase
But something's still lingering on
[Chorus]
Lost in the waves
I am lost in the waves
No one but me and the silent black sea
I am lost in the waves
[Verse 2]
A vision in the moonlight
A family on the beach
A boy on his own by the undertow thrown
Far beyond his father's reach
He's caught in a riptide
A man has to choose
There's a race to be won for the life of his son
But someone has to lose
[Chorus]
Lost in the waves
He was lost in the waves
Saltwater burns, the tide always turns
When you're lost in the waves
[Verse 3]
Now I'm the one sinking
There's no solid ground
And I can't help thinking
I'm the one who has drowned
Now knee-deep in the water
I feel my father's touch
And though fully grown, I've still never known
How to love someone that much
[Chorus]
Lost in the waves
I am lost in the waves
No one but me and the silent black sea
I am lost in the waves
I am lost in the waves
I am lost in the waves
