Van Der Graaf Generator - The Wave Lyrics

  • (Hammill)
  • The wave hits the beach, writing words on the sand;
  • to the academic man, this could be the answer....
  • In fact, it's no more than a hunch.
  • Still we try to eat it -
  • I think we're all pretty out to lunch.
  • The wave is out of reach,
  • trailing words from the hand
  • only air can understand.
  • Semaphore on the shoreline,
  • waiting for distance to recede, unhappily imperfect
  • when we should be happy just to breathe.
  • But with each bated breath,
  • so present, tense,
  • we want to know,
  • we want it sure,
  • it don't make sense!
  • So I'll do mine and you do yours
  • but let's not trade sand and sea
  • for brick and cement.
  • The wave hits the beach, laps around abandoned clothes,
  • wants to share a joke with those who'll brave the breakers,
  • who'll break bread rather than pray
  • while the definition-maker's
  • lost in the small print of the day.
  • The words are only pictures
  • that the next wave wipes away.
