Sleeping Until The Wave Came Lyrics

I saw a wind vane

In the shape of a grim face

Pointing forward

To an oasis

Familiar to me now

Damning somehow

Gone in an instant

My other life evaporates

I was sleeping until the wave came

Dreaming about what might have been

Sleeping until the wave came

Cold sea arresting me to say

Come back before you slip away

Come back before you slip away

I saw a lighthouse'

Weary beam bending down

Nobly from a bluff

Its cause overdrawn

False light dooming me

All who can see

Stirring it's gone

Left to shine on

I was sleeping until the wave came

Dreaming about what might have been

Sleeping until the wave came

Cold sea arresting me to say

Come back before you slip away

Come back before you slip away

I saw an ice block

Shimmering in scotch

Old man's head in hands

Squeezing tear drops

His brain diseased

Longing for release

My penance to watch

Suddenly it stops

I was sleeping until the wave came

Dreaming about what might have been

Sleeping until the wave came

Cold sea arresting me to say

Come back before you slip away

Come back before you slip away

I saw a rusted mine

Washed up by the tide

Unruptured live relic

Raging inside

Go on it taunts

Blow us beyond the dawn

Grabbing its horns

In a flash we're reborn

I was sleeping until the wave came

Dreaming about what might have been

Sleeping until the wave came

Cold sea arresting me to say

I was sleeping until the wave came

Quicksands of time tasting brine

Sleeping until the wave came

Smelling salts seeing all-of-it rewind

I was sleeping until the wave came

Rushing water waking my senses

Sleeping until the wave came

Absolution from a different life's sentence

Absolution from a different life's sentence

Absolution from a different life's sentence
