Sudden Waves Songtext
von June Tabor

The waves
There are waves
Sudden waves break over me
There are waves
Sudden waves over me

There are days
When the way that I want is not to be
And I am lost

There are days
Broken days
When the gales we sail have blown
There are waves
Sudden waves over me

And the sea carries me
On a course that′s not my own
And I'm alone


There are storms
Sudden storms
When the form of life is lost
There are waves
Sudden waves over me
And it′s chance
Not design
Makes the line my life has crossed
And I may drown

There are bays
Peaceful bays
In the harbour of your hand
Where the waves
Sudden waves
Cannot reach

There are days
When the ways
Of your words can make dry land
And I can stay

There are bays
Peaceful bays
In the harbour of your hand
Where the waves
Sudden waves cannot reach
There are days
When the ways
Of your words can make dry land
And I can stay
