lyrics

There was a wave, an ocean thing,
That snatched and all around
Was water filled with sand
Who knew up, who knew down
Not me

It's true I was a little girl
but if I’d been full grown
There is nothing you can do
When it wraps you in its arms
The sea

You learn to be quite still
And calmly hold your breath
That cold behind your back
Will it ever let you go?
Don’t know

And then it spits you out
Although it knocks you to your knees
Tumbling pebbles, broken shells
You are marked but you are free
Free me

First it grabs you from the land
And spins you round and round like a waltz
It wraps you in its arms
Like a mother wraps a child
You lay there like a bird
Waiting for a chance to fly
But the sea, the sea
Decides
