Listening to the waves crashing
The other night I dreamt you were still alive
Some light the fires some put them out
Some light the fires some put them out, baby
Mother, only you and I can know how many times
I wish I had you to confide and I long to change the destiny
That took you from me though I'm still grateful you created me
And sent that butterfly to us three and our family
Listening to the waves crashing
Just the other night I dreamt you were still alive
Some light the fires some put them out
Some light the fires some put them out, baby
Do you enjoy the view So-Cal?
Do you enjoy the view in Southern Cali?
I've been building my sense of selfdom all my life
A wise woman once said you're born alone and alone you die
But I was with her until the very end
Of the beautiful mortal coil her beautiful soul was sent in
And I know it's there because she is in heaven
She sent a butterfly to us three and our family
Some light the fires some put them out
Some light the fires some put them out, babydoll
Some people search the globe
Looking for something that
Makes us feel whole
Anchors us to the past
Nothing to clutch in life
Nothing to fear in death
Awaiting the next now
That has not happened yet
Listening to the waves crashing
The other night I dreamt you were still alive
Some people search the globe
Looking for something that
Makes us feel whole
Anchors us to the past
Nothing to clutch in life
Nothing to fear in death
Awaiting the next now
That has not happened yet
Eureka - I've found it.
And it was right next to me all along
