Just a Wave, Not the Water
Thirst is not the answer, oceans come and goI loved her seven seas worth, Lord I loved her soBut she let me down so easy, one slow drop at a timeI would've killed myself but it made no senseCommitting suicide in self defenseBut I lost everything I brought herWhen she said babe, you're just a wave, you're not the waterCenturies ago we were living on the gold coastShe was still in love with a long, gone, cold ghostI was only trying to turn back the tide of her tearsI felt like an endless ocean, rolling through the fogFull emotion drifting like a weather beaten logI even thought that I out-thought herTill she said babe, you're just a wave, you're not the waterI said someday we'll love again, then you'll know the scoreI've taught you everything I know and maybe even moreThat's true she said, more than you ever willI've said I've been your raging river, precious African queenI've shown you everything that I've ever seenBut she knew more than I had taught herWhen she said babe, you're just a wave, you're not the waterLetras de cancionesWell I followed her far and wide with all of my willWater on the move, you know it never stands stillAnd I moved every muscle, just to prove it can be doneThen up some old sad river, where snow white lilies floatI came to her for mercy, but I hardly rocked the boatShe seemed surprised that I have caught herBut she said babe, you're just a wave, you're not the waterShe said babe, you're just a wave, you're not the water From Letras Mania
