Long Black Waves Lyrics

Out on the open
Over the depths
You are the wind and I am the sea
Steer steady forward
I want to believe
You sail us towards security

And the waves crave my soul
In dreams they swallow me whole

Long black waves haunt me in my sleep
Long black waves washing over me
Call my name pull towards the endless deep
Long black waves oh what hides beneath the sea

The wheel and the rope
Roughen our hands
Cracks in the wood will not frighten you
Wild is thе water
High the cry of gulls
I'm so afraid of slipping through

And the wavеs crave my soul
In dreams they swallow me whole

Long black waves haunt me in my sleep
Long black waves washing over me
Call my name pull towards the endless deep
Long black waves oh what hides beneath the sea

Mathew, Mark, Luke and John
God bless the bed that I lie on
The water's so cold and the waves are high
Will you keep me safe till morning light?
When I lay me down to sleep
I see long black waves and what's beneath
The water's so cold and the waves are high
Is there any hope for a soul like mine?

Long black waves
Long, long black waves
