I have traced the outline of your face against the night,
You were all I ever wanted, just you and me in flight。
And we were drowning in the waves, As they were carrying us along,
We were wishing we were lovers,But the feeling didn’t last that long。
Oh waves on the shore I’ve let you slip through, Into my arms, Just a shadow of you.
Now you’re just a moving wave in the passing night,
Chasing-up a phantom star I’m quickly losing sight,
Cause I have lost you before I found you。
Looking in the face of crowds,
No longer searching for your smile there Or straining for your sound.
Oh waves on the shore I’ve let you slip through, Into my arms, Just a shadow of you.
Oh waves on the shore I’ve let you slip through, Read out my heart, Just a shadow of you.
Just a shadow of you.
Just a shadow of you.
