Waves

By Sam Baker (2004)
On album mercy (2004), The Pretty World Trilogy (2017)

mercy
So many years, so many hardships
So many laughs, so many tears
So many things to remember
'Cause they had 50 years
Now the kids, they got their own kids
Their own kids have grown
She told him not to worry
Say he'd be fine when she was gone
He walks down to the ocean
Bends to touch the water, kneels to pray
Writes her name in sand
Waves wash it away
There are seagulls circling shrimp boats
That turn inside the bay
There's an emptiness inside
That never goes away
He walks down to the ocean
Bends to touch the water, kneels to pray
He writes her name in the sand
Waves wash it away
So many years, so many hardships
So many laughs, so many tears
So many things he cannot remember
'Cause they had 50 years
He walks down to the ocean
Bends to touch kneels to pray
He writes her name in the sand
Waves wash it away
He writes her name in the sand
Waves wash it away
