Dialing in a forgotten voice
Coming in like waves rolling off the coast
Sweeping through illegal ports
Rising from the depths, falling off the dock
Ships drifting out of tune
Coming in like waves rolling off the coast
Many, many more
Sculpting the shoreline
Etching the harbor
And the people who've stayed afloat
Coming in like waves rolling off the coast
Dialing in a forgotten voice
Rising from the depths, falling off the dock
Sweeping through illegal ports
Coming in like waves rolling off the coast
Ships drifting out of tune
Can't stop the waves coming like a ghost
Is that your shape in the foam of the sea?
After all these years, coming home to me
La Chascona, all the ocean
(With vows broken)
Lying in the bath fully clothed
Ready for the ocean's wake
The tears won't wash away
What her eyes can't erase
Not safe to say in her native tongue
The radio voice coming out loud
The general's song lingering on
A raft made of boards from a driftwood house
Returns to the waves
