The Waves at Night
Matthew Houck
[Verse]
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?
[Verse]
The crazy streets, amazing grief
The taste of sweet offerings
The blazing heat, the naked beasts
Great barrier reefs, all for thee
[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?
[Verse]
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
