The Wave
TOM CHAPLIN · The Wave 2016 · Track 11 of 16
Flotsam and Jetsam Always at the mercy of the ocean Drawn on the trade winds Gathered up and swallowed by the motion High hopes and young dreams Unrequited love, misplaced devotion
Time will sweep these things away And I'll be carried by the wave
Carried by the wave Carried by the wave My soul surrendered by the undertow Driven by the tide I'm headed for the shore These lonely, scattered pieces heading home
Caught on the high wire Quarry for the demons down below Held in slow motion Frozen by the thought of letting go
Time will sweep these things away And I'll be carried by the wave
Carried by the wave Carried by the wave My soul surrendered by the undertow Driven by the tide I'm headed for the shore These lonely, scattered pieces heading home
Like it was before Joined forever more These lonely, scattered pieces heading home Heading home Heading home
