The Wave Ballet

By the cold water nothing sleeps

We all keep presents

For you

For you

Call off all danger in the dark reef

It's all well hidden

From you

From you

We'll wave it away

We'll wave it away

We'll wave it away

At the bottom of this lake

There was only you and I

We could let the water win

At the bottom of a sigh

I know the way I know the way I know the way I know the way

I could hear your sinking heart

As you closed your eyes to speak

Of your mother's wedding dress

And the clothes you used to seek

I know the way I know the way I know the way I know the way

Submariners stopping by

To dissolve their paper gold

Soon they'll join our wave ballet

And their stories will grow old

Too obsessed to fall asleep

Yet we fail to stay awake

While we drift toward the drain

At the bottom of the lake

I know the way I know the way I know the way I know the way

(All I need to know I know I knew so very long ago

Believe me I don't wanna know how close or far just wanna go)

Yet heaven don't need you

You won't have to wear your disguise

Wherever it leads you

You know it won't show in your eyes
