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 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 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 But the days move slow And the years do know That time couldn't move any faster Time couldn't move any faster
