jimmie dale gilmore - just a wave lyrics
thirst is not the answer oceans come and go
i loved her seven seas worth lord i loved her so
but she let me down so easy one slow drop at a time
i would’ve killed myself but it made no sense
commitin’ suicide in self defense but i lost everything i brought her
when she said babe you’re just a wave you’re not the water
centuries ago we were living on the gold coast
she was still in love with a long gone cold ghost
i was only trying to turn back the tide of her tears
i felt like an endless ocean rolling through the fog
full emotion drifting like a weather beaten log
i even thought that i out-thought her
till she said babe you’re just a wave you’re not the water
[ steel ]
i said someday we’ll love again then you’ll know the score
i’ve taught you everything i know and maybe even more
that’s true she said more than you ever will
i said i’ve been your raging river precious african queen
i’ve shown you everything that i’ve ever seen
but she knew more than i had taught her
when she said babe you’re just a wave you’re not the water
[ ac.guitar ]
well i followed her far and wide with all of my will
water on the move you know it never stands still
and i moved every muscle just to prove it can be done
then up some old sad river where snow white lilies float
i came to her for mercy but i hardly rocked the boat
she seemed surprised that i had caught her
but she said babe you’re just a wave you’re not the water
she said babe you’re just a wave you’re not the water
