lyrics
I held your heart on El Matador Beach
Breathing with the waves
Birds flew ahead just out of reach
In the shade beneath the cave
A girl in pink and yellow danced by
In the land of golden youth
I love you so much that it made me cry
For the sad, sad joy of the truth
Oh, hear the waves, washing clean away
Inhaling and exhaling, day after day
Try as we might, we'll never, ever control the ocean
Stop the day from becoming the night,
The minutes from drifting in motion
Oh, hear the waves, washing clean away
Inhaling and exhaling, day after day
Where are the moments past
Oh, they didn't last
And I learned too late
So many seashells kept
So many teardrops wept at the hands of fate
Oh, hear the waves, breathing on and on
They're not gonna pause for a moment
After we are gone
Oh They're not gonna pause for a moment
After we are gone
Breathing with the waves
Birds flew ahead just out of reach
In the shade beneath the cave
A girl in pink and yellow danced by
In the land of golden youth
I love you so much that it made me cry
For the sad, sad joy of the truth
Oh, hear the waves, washing clean away
Inhaling and exhaling, day after day
Try as we might, we'll never, ever control the ocean
Stop the day from becoming the night,
The minutes from drifting in motion
Oh, hear the waves, washing clean away
Inhaling and exhaling, day after day
Where are the moments past
Oh, they didn't last
And I learned too late
So many seashells kept
So many teardrops wept at the hands of fate
Oh, hear the waves, breathing on and on
They're not gonna pause for a moment
After we are gone
Oh They're not gonna pause for a moment
After we are gone
