From the recording Keep A Light On

Lyrics

thirst is not the answer, oceans come and goI loved her seven seas worth, Lord I loved her soshe let me down so easy, one drop at a time‌I would've killed myself but it made no sensecommitting suicide in self defensebut I lost everything I brought her when she said babyShe said baby you're just a wave, you're not the water, you're not the watercenturies ago living on the gold coastshe was still in love with some long, gone ghostI was only trying to turn back the tide of her tears‌I felt like an endless ocean, rolling through the fogfull emotion drifting like a weather beaten logand I thought that I out thought her till she said babyWhen she said baby, you're just a wave, you're not the water, you're not the waterShe said baby, you're just a wave, you're not the water, you're not the waterWhoohoo, Whoohoo, Whoohoo, WhoohooI said someday we'll love again and then you'll know the scoreI've taught you everything I know and maybe even morethat's true she said, more than you ever will‌I said I've been your raging river, precious African queenI've shown you everything that I've ever seenbut she knew more than I had taught her when she said babyWhen she said baby, you're just a wave, you're not the water, you're not the waterShe said baby, you're just a wave, you're not the water, you're not the waterShe said baby, you're just a wave, you're not the water, you're not the waterShe said baby, you're just a wave, you're not the water, you're not the waterWhoohoo, Whoohoo, Whoohoo, Whoohoo
