lyrics

as a child I drew pictures of women staring out at sea
waiting and waiting for love to come back to me
and I heard a thousand lies
from the love starved and the blind
so I closed my eyes
but you were still there in my mind

so like a wave I knew you'd reach my shore
so i would brave all the hopelessness I must ignore

if I'd learned anything it's that one day can change everything
and from nothing but a dream we can create a beautiful thing
it feels like I closed my eyes
and I dreamed you up in my mind
and you walked in my life
like you had been there all the time

so like a wave you reached my shore
and when I had to be brave I know now what it was for
for you like a wave to reach my shore
and all I had to brave I don't have to anymore
love like a wave washed on my shore
and I know I am brave and deserve all the love in store
