Lyrics

WAVES ON THE WATER (Chico’s Song)
(Album: One Good Day 2006)

I remember when you came to me
You were trying to outrun heredity
But something dark was flowing through your veins
With virulence that I could not explain
On and on, here and gone
The answers might be crazy
But the questions can't be wrong
Stand your ground
Before the rising waters pull you down

The waves on the water roll along
Winter winds will rock you
And chill you to the bone
You can float upon the surface
Or sink like a stone
But the waves on the water roll along

When I told you it was time to choose
The only choice you had was how to lose
I watched that fire burning in your soul
Surrender to the darkness and the cold
You had dreams, you had faith
But on that day they vanished
And your angels flew away
You can’t hide
When you’re caught between the reaches of the tide

The waves on the water roll along
Winter winds will rock you
And chill you to the bone
You can float upon the surface
Or sink like a stone
But the waves on the water roll along

The beating of a heart is like a song
It's true, but doesn't last for long
The drawing of a breath is like the wind
It fades, but then comes round again
What it means, I can’t tell
I’m still trying to learn the lesson
Chico knew so well
Take that ride
Don’t stop until the water meets the sky

The waves on the water roll along
Winter winds will rock you
And chill you to the bone
You can float upon the surface
Or sink like a stone
But the waves on the water
Waves on the water
Waves on the water roll along
