From the recording Rising Tide
Lyrics
New Wave
New wave washing over me
I’m as far from the city as I wanna be
New wave time to take a dive
these kind of chances they just pass you by
They just pass you by
Laying on the beach by the shady trees
Children’s laughter blowing in the summer breeze
I’ve got my new sunglasses and time on my hands
No work no traffic here to mess my plans
(chorus)
And there’s a new wave starting to flow
And the sunlight shines
New wave cleaning my soul
This is precious time
This is precious time
I never knew there could be times like these
I can stay just where I want or go if I please
Laying by the edge near the water’s flow
Got the wind in my hair and sand in my toes
Waves are crashing and sailboats chime
There’s a pair of lovers strolling by the waterline
Easy kind of living and summertime lingers
Got a fever in my pocket and a tingling in my fingers
(chorus)
And there’s a new wave starting to flow
And the sunlight shines
New wave cleaning my soul
This is precious time
And I’m feeling fine
New wave washing over me
I’m as far from the city as I wanna be
New wave time to take a dive
these kind of chances they just pass you by
(repeat chorus) x 2
Easy kind of living and I’m feeling fine.
