Wild Ceaseless Song

I hear the waves break shore
Like they always have
A wild ceaseless song
I dreamt your face
When you were still inside
And how your yellow hair would catch the light

[Chorus]
And the days move slow
But the years do know
That time couldn’t move any faster
Time couldn’t move any faster

When you passed through me
I passed through a door
Of letting go of everything that came before
And I know now
What every mother knows
Of what it is to watch your heart escape your chest

[Chorus]
And the days move slow
But the years do know
That time couldn’t move any faster
Time couldn’t move any faster

When the sun is set
On my final hour
Will you find me in the water's wild ceaseless song
And in your face
I see my father’s eyes
And in your daughter’s eyes you may see me
Staring at the open sea
Staring at the open sea

[Chorus]
But the days move slow
And the years do know
That time couldn’t move any faster
Time couldn’t move any faster
