On our last trip to the coast
We watched the boats sail the sea
"How effortlessly they float"

You turned and said to me

And sedately I sat there

In my quiet mist of rage
How I wanted to tell you
But I was hushed by my shame


So when the waves come rolling in
Then I won't turn the tide

And in the line of fire
You'll set me aside
So go on Richard let go


And I can still remember
The laughter in a stranger's face

And the way you would tell me
To slow down my pace


See no living is that easy
No living is that fair
Of course I was going to lose you

Were you ever even there?

So when the waves come rolling in

Then I won't turn the tide
And in the line of fire
You'll set me aside

So go on Richard let go
