While the river cuts a valley
And islands jump out of the sea
There’s a hole in the ground for my body
But you cannot bury me
No you cannot bury me
And the waves, float you away
And the waves, float you away
While the spirits drain the bottles
With the daylight fading in
There’s a time and a place for this party
And I’ll hold these memories
I will hold these memories
And the waves, float you away
And the waves, float you away
While the skin was worked from these hands
Silk screen forearms folded tight
In my mind there’s a man with a story
That I’ll write eventually
I will write eventually
And the waves, float you away
And the waves, float you away
While I haven’t minded indecision
And I’ve survived mostly intact
If I could find a place to take all the guilty
I would compass out to sea
I would compass out to sea
And the waves, float you away
And the waves, float you away
Well desperation found a home here
An anxious rain came down
The days have passed enough to know where I’m going
And I’ll take them humbly
I will take them humbly
And the waves, float you away
And the waves, float you away
While the river cuts a valley
And islands jump out of the sea.
There's a hole in the ground with my body.
You can't bury memories.
You can't bury memories.
Waves in Spanish:
While the river cuts a valley
And islands jump out of the sea
There’s a hole in the ground for my body
But you cannot bury me
No you cannot bury me
And the waves, float you away
And the waves, float you away
While the spirits drain the bottles
With the daylight fading in
There’s a time and a place for this party
And I’ll hold these memories
I will hold these memories
And the waves, float you away
And the waves, float you away
While the skin was worked from these hands
Silk screen forearms folded tight
In my mind there’s a man with a story
That I’ll write eventually
I will write eventually
And the waves, float you away
And the waves, float you away
While I haven’t minded indecision
And I’ve survived mostly intact
If I could find a place to take all the guilty
I would compass out to sea
I would compass out to sea
And the waves, float you away
And the waves, float you away
Well desperation found a home here
An anxious rain came down
The days have passed enough to know where I’m going
And I’ll take them humbly
I will take them humbly
And the waves, float you away
And the waves, float you away
While the river cuts a valley
And islands jump out of the sea.
There's a hole in the ground with my body.
You can't bury memories.
You can't bury memories.
And the waves, float you away
And the waves, float you away
