Lyrics
CREST OF A WAVE
VERSE ONE:
CAN'T STOP THE NIGHT FROM DRAWING IN, THEN ALL MY FEARS START ALL OVER AGAIN,
I HATE THE DARK, AND WHAT WAITS FOR ME,
THERE'S A MAN IN BLACK, BUT ONLY HIS EYES I CAN SEE,OOHH,OH, HE'S WATCHING ME...
HE CALLS MY NAME IN A DEEP LOW VOICE,
HE BECKONS ME BUT I HAVE NO CHOICE, HIS PIERCING EYES FOREVER WATCHING ME,
THEN COMES THE SOUND OF THE RAGING SEA,OH,OH, THE RAGING SEA,
CHORUS ONE:
AND NOW I FEEL THE PAIN, OF A DROWNING MAN,
TAKING ME UNDER, DOWN, DOWN I GO,
AND ABOVE ME THE WAVES, RIDING THE CREST OF A WAVE,..Ha.
VERSE TWO:
A SILENT HUSH, SURROUNDS MY EARS,
THEN THERE'S NO MORE PAIN, AND NO MORE FEARS,
THE DARKNESS FADES, AND IN COMES THE LIGHT,
OPEN MY EYES AS I REACH THE END OF THE NIGHT,
Ooooh,Ooooh, THE END OF THE NIGHT,
TOO MANY SOULS, A SIGHING FOR,UNDER THE SEA THE CITY THAT CRIES,
UNDO THE DARK, AND LET THE SOULS FREE,
CAN'T YOU SEE, CAN'T YOU SEE,
THERE CRYING OUT,
CHORUS TWO:
REPEAT CHORUS ONE;
LEAD GUITAR BREAK:
ADD LIB OVER THE GUITAR SOLO TO THE END.........................................
