lyrics

her life an unmade bed
cheap wine and cigarettes
she figured that's all she would ever need

waiting for another lie
a child, a smile she could never hide
guessed that everyone would one day die

unrelenting days
her sweet malaise
the battle lost
the prize i never won

and here come the waves
to pull us away
taking grains of sand
as if they meant something

inhale a divine breath
drawing in the helpless
limits known except a fear of the end

gone are the yielding days
(gone are those days)
limpid eyes willing mine
(but not mine)
tremulous lips of lust break the day

mothers of mothers
a child of all
by virtue together
forever will fall

and here come the waves
to pull us away
taking grains of sand
as if they meant something
(all alone, truth is shown, fortune seen, time to leave)
