When The Waves Come Home lyrics

You left your shoes down by the shore Said you'd be back, but I'm not sure The ocean keeps your secret safe While I'm still standing in this place The boardwalk's quiet, the stars don't lie Every night I ask the sky If waves can carry words my way Would they bring your voice today? And if time could turn, I'd chase the tide To find the part of me that died When the waves come home, I'll be here With every sound, I'll still hear Your laugh, your song, your echo clear When the waves come home, you'll reappear Empty streets and summer haze Still remind me of those days You said: Forever, I said: Wait Now forever feels too late I still dream you're running back Salt in your hair, light in your tracks Maybe someday you'll find your way Till then, I'll stand and face the bay When the waves come home, I'll be here With every sound, I'll still hear Your laugh, your song, your echo clear When the waves come home, I'll still be here
