Waiting by the Sea

Drew Gonsalves

[Verse 1]
On a bright Spring day near the approach of May
My spirit lept with the season and drew me away
From the comforts and pleasures and agonies
That were familiar to me
A brief repose or a final close
To the years spent in emptiness, who knows?
It was not the time for clarity
It was a season of resurrection
Restless I wandered like a once-caged bird
Who found the sky and finally heard
His song without the echoes of a cage
But found it quite absurd
So seeking the solace of a greater sea
I walked the coast to know my condition
It was not the time for clarity
It was a season of resurrection

[Chorus]
Waiting there by the sea
For history to pass me by
Waiting there by the sea
For memory just to leave me be
Waiting there by the sea
Waiting ever patiently
Waiting there by the sea
For you

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
What a thing, what a thing, spring in full fling
Despite the agony of the hour I was compelled to sing
A hymn to human victory
But I could not cease to cling
To the idle aims and futile games
Of a dying city whose rising flames
Promised to light a brighter way
Than the fury of a summer’s day
But every lamp was a lie, the city cold and dry
A crowda of climbing towers rose to shut out the sky
And every wall raised to keep back the sea
Kept all from being free
So I fled the streets to meet the tide
And I walk the coast to know my condition
But it was not the time for clarity
It was a season of resurrection

[Chorus]
Waiting there by the sea
For history to pass me by
Waiting there by the sea
For memory just to leave me be
Waiting there by the sea
Waiting there patiently
Waiting there by the sea
For you

Waiting there by the sea
For history to pass me by
Waiting there by the sea
For memory just to leave me be
Waiting there by the sea
Waiting there patiently

[Outro]
Waiting there by the sea
For you
Waiting there by the sea
(Waiting there)
For you
Waiting there by the sea
For you
(Waiting there)
Waiting there by the sea
For you
