DISTANT WAVES.
FROM AFAR,
SO HARD TO TELL.
YOU COULD SCREAM,
I COULD YELL.
MESSAGES,
BLOWN ON THE BREEZE,
CARRIED OFF,
ACROSS THE TEES.
THE MORE YOU SHOUT,
THE LESS I HEAR.
LOOKING LIKE,
THE END I FEAR.
THEY SAY SOME BREAKS,
WILL NEVER MEND.
BRITTLE PAIRINGS,
THEY DON'T MEND.
SO WE GIVE.
A DISTANT WAVE
ALL WE HAD,
A CHANCE TO SAVE.
WAVING ARMS,
ACHING HEART.
WAVES THAT DROWN,
DRIFT APART.
Chorus.
SOME CAN SAY "GOODBYE,"
OTHER SAY "HELLO."
SOME ASK "PLEASE STAY,"
OTHERS LET YOU GO.
JUST ANOTHER TYPE OF SEMAPHORE,
TOO FAR AWAY TO ASK "WHY WHAT FOR?"
repeat 1
repeat 2
repeat 3
repeat chorus x 3
then fade.
Like a distant wave.
BEACH BUOY.
