A Wave Across A Bay Lyrics – Frank Turner
I spoke with Scott last night
I was tired, but I wasn’t sleeping
And despite what you think, I wasn’t drinking
I was just finally ready to listen
And he was there alright
And though he’d probably *** me just for saying this
Given how the both of us are atheists
But there it is
There must have been a moment, just before you hit the water,
When you were filled with a sense of peace and understanding
With the wind in your hair and a light in your eyes
As you realized you were finally escaping
But somehow in that moment, you miraculously miss it
Like a wave across a bay never breaking
And that’s how I like to think of you, ever falling, never landing
Rolling slowly out to sea and always smiling
You were always smiling
God damn I miss you man
It was just weeks before you went that we were speaking
I just wish that you had told me you were leaving
Before you walked your final mile
I’m not *** off at you man
You had something in your soul that we could recognize
You were one of us, but you’d worked out how you could survive
At least for a while
There must have been a moment, just before you hit the water,
When you were filled with a sense of peace and understanding
With the wind in your hair and a light in your eyes
As you realized you were finally escaping
But somehow in that moment, you miraculously miss it
Like a wave across a bay never breaking
And that’s how I like to think of you, ever falling, never landing
Rolling slowly out to sea and always smiling
You were always smiling
You were a wave across a bay never breaking
You were a wave across a bay never breaking
Out to the sea
Ever falling, never landing
You were a wave across a bay never breaking
You were a wave across a bay never breaking
Out to the sea
Ever falling, never landing
You were a wave across a bay never breaking
You were a wave across a bay never breaking
Out to the sea
You were always smiling
