lyrics

They clocked the tower with giant hands
To regulate unruly clans
Of roving minds and brilliant plans
Thus smoothing over castled sands
You were young to break this pattern
Playing hoola hoops with Saturn
Dancing under Heaven’s lantern
Surfing on the waves of the aftershock
Emanating from a new discovery
I see the wave of a wand and it’s magic
I see the waves of the sea, how they travel
Then I see you wave goodbye to me
Beneath the water’s cold reflection
Hoping for a resurrection
Blinking eyes in all directions
You were on your journey to be free
The sun must have the warmest touch
But you were kind to give as much
I wish I’d been around to watch you
Surfing on the waves of the aftershock
Emanating from a new discovery
