String Cheese Incident - These Waves lyrics

When I was born, I suppose that I was sober Maybe so, it just gets harder when you're older To the coffin from the nipple From the cradle to the grave Once a pond discovers ripples Could it ever forget these waves? Chorus These waves Between pleasure and pain These waves Come and rock me once again These waves Will I ever stop riding these waves? Like I always do, I found the Dew Drop Inn What an excellent place to once again begin But the kindnesses of strangers Make a haven for fools You get tired of the dangers But it's hard to beat the rules of These waves [Chorus] So I grow old, is it true that I'll grow wiser? I don't know, seems that fortune is a miser But there's one thing that's for certain It's that life is fair, you will have your days of triumph You will always get your share of [Chorus] These waves have got me Caught between the joy and the bottom below These waves have brought me Down to the point Where there's nothing that I'm certain I know So rides the world, between freedom and fear We long for love, though it's perfectly clear That it takes a lot of courage To keep an open heart Though your love may seem well nourished It will always be a part Of these waves [Chorus]
