She'll dive into anything
She's got the golden ring
She's got the moon in her hair


To touch her is permanent
Salt on her satin skin

It's all okay when she's there

I don't want to

But I have to
Leave it all up in the air


When she comes in waves
And then slips away
And I wish she'd stay

But you can't always get what you want
And she comes in waves
Here she comes


She's pretty when she smiles
And it goes on for miles

Finds me wherever I am

Then I wake up alone

Like a bird that has flown
Into something I don't understand


Check the rear-view mirror
Watch it all wash away once again


When she comes in waves
And then slips away
And I wish she'd stay

But you can't always get what you want
And she comes in waves


Don't know what I'm doing
It's pushing and pulling me underneath
It's hard to breathe


And I know that tonight
I'll be thinking it might

Be the last time that she leaves

She's here when she's here, then she's gone


When she comes in waves
And then slips away

And I wish she'd stay
But you can't always get what you want
And she comes in waves

Here she comes
Here she comes
She comes in waves
