The Waves

[Verse 1]
We were the heirs of autumn
With constellations calling
Us to dance under a painted golden moon

The future was a secret
And we promised we would keep it
But we sailed into tomorrow far too soon

[Chorus]
Oh, my love
The tide is calm
But, oh, my love
The waves are coming

[Verse 2]
In the dark the water's perfect
But just beneath the surface
There's an undertow that's waiting in the deep

In the broken light of morning
We will understand the warnings
Of the shipwrecks and the skeletons we keep

[Chorus]
Oh, my love
The tide is calm
But, oh, my love
The waves are coming

[Bridge]
Mm-hm, mm-hm, mm-hmm, mm-hm
Mm-hm, mm-hm, mm-hmm, mm-hm
It's easier to let go
Than to dive into the unknown
There's a strength that leaves when your eyes can't see the shore
I know that we can weather
Every bitter tear together
We were made to last, we can make it past the storm

[Chorus]
Oh, my love
The tide is calm
Oh, my love
The waves are coming
