lyrics

The tide is rising and the moon is high and still rising on the bounding main
We're waiting for the big wave that’s capsizing o’er the uprooted plain

The next thing I see is a wave goes by
The wave that goes by is a mighty fine train
The wave that I see is the train to ride

The sails are filling and the wind is up and still changing, sea to rising sea
We’re watching while the waves keep rearranging the shapes of history

The flags are flying and the mood is high
The tide is turning toward the ground that’s still dry
We’re wading through the marsh of time

We’re waiting for the waving flags to touch ground and burn white
We're waiting for the half acid reigns on this parade to snap tight

The next thing I see is a wave goes by
The wave that goes by is a mighty fine train
The wave that I see is the train to ride
