Waves - Karl Verkade

[00:33.39]The first time you saw it,
[00:34.76]it moved you
[00:37.32]It broke and crashed and pulled at your soul
[00:41.84]You saw life anew in its reflection,
[00:44.27]in its strength
[00:46.85]All was lost save for its depth...
[00:50.11]its power to save you
[00:51.41]from all you might become
[00:54.15]And you would never be the same
[00:56.07]
[01:01.21]the first time you saw her,
[01:02.47]She moved you
[01:04.35]She broke and crashed and pulled at your soul
[01:09.95]You saw life anew in her reflection, in her strength
[01:15.00]All was lost save for her depth...
[01:18.64]her power to save you
[01:19.88]from all you might become
[01:22.74]And you would never be the same
[01:26.81]
[01:29.79]The first time you saw them,
[01:30.94]they moved you
[01:33.67]They broke and crashed and pulled at your soul
[01:37.81]You saw life anew in their reflection,
[01:41.76]in their strength
[01:44.66]All was lost save for their depth...
[01:48.72]their power to save you
[01:50.14]from all you might become
[01:54.26]And you would never be the same
[01:57.70]
[02:48.34]The last time you saw it,
[02:49.99]it moved you
[02:52.93]It broke and crashed and pulled at your soul
[02:58.29]You saw life fade in its reflection,
[03:00.77]in its strength
[03:03.64]All was lost despite its depth...
[03:07.42]its power to save you from all you became
[03:11.56]And you were always the same
[03:15.00]Numbingly,forcefully,tragically...the same.
[03:22.70]In the beginnings and the endings we find meaning
[03:26.12]It is that vast expanse of middle where we fell.
