Phosphorescent - The Waves at Night

G..............D...........C..............G
Where are we and where do we

.......C................G...D
And where will we finally

Trade our teeth for rays for wheat
To lay and sleep underneath

...C.........................G
O love too eager to cross

...C..................................G.....D
O love we meet and you pause

...C.........................G
O love too eager to cross

................................D
You see what you’ve lost?

The crazy streets, amazing grief
The taste of sweet offerings
The blazing heat, the naked beasts
Great barrier reefs, all for thee

O love too eager to cross
O love we meet and you pause
O love too eager to cross
You see what you’ve lost?

The waves at night all brave and bright
The dance hall lights, o all your life
To lay and weep, to trade our teeth
To aim and achieve grace and peace
