Текст песни These Waves - Live - The String Cheese Incident

When I was born, I suppose that I was sober
Maybe so, it just gets harder when you're older
To the coffin from the nipple
From the cradle to the grave
Once a pond discovers ripples
Could it ever forget these waves?

These waves
Between pleasure and pain
These waves
Come and rock me once again
These waves
Will I ever stop riding these waves?

Like I always do, I found the Dew Drop Inn
What an excellent place to once again begin
But the kindnesses of strangers
Make a haven for fools
You get tired of the dangers
But it's hard to beat the rules of
These waves

So I grow old, is it true that I'll grow wiser?
I don't know, seems that fortune is a miser
But there's one thing that's for certain,
It's that life is fair, you will have your days of triumph
You will always get your share of

These waves have got me
Caught between the joy and the bottom below
These waves have brought me
Down to the point
Where there's nothing that I'm certain I know

So rides the world, between freedom and fear
We long for love, though it's perfectly clear
That it takes a lot of courage
To keep an open heart
Though your love may seem well nourished
It will always be a part
Of these waves
