Where are we, and where do we
And where will we finally
Trade our teeth for rays for wheat
To lay and sleep underneath
[Chorus]
Oh love, too eager to cross
Oh love, we meet and you pause
Oh love, too eager to cross
You see what you've lost?
The crazy streets, amazing grief
The taste of sweet offerings
The blazing heat, the naked beasts
Great barrier reefs, all for thee
[Chorus]
The waves at night, all brave and bright
The dance hall lights, all your life
To lay and weep, to trade our teeth
To aim and achieve grace and peace
Phosphorescent released The Waves at Night on Tue Oct 23 2007.
