Waves Crash, Clouds Roll Lyrics by Defeater

Empty Days & Sleepless Nights

2011

[Intro]
As the waves crash, the clouds roll
As the waves crash, the clouds roll

[Verse 1]
Sit on the dock waiting for the sun
Wait for the coward but he never comes
Pray for revenge on him
Steam rises as the boats come in one by one
One by one

[Chorus]
You know she is gone
You know there's no saving her
You know she is gone
You know
Her cheating, her weak will, the addiction, that needle

[Verse 2]
When you come home to find her lying on the floor
You're reminded of those sleepless nights
That will haunt you for the rest of your life
Blue collar shipyard, any way to keep her alive
Sun up to sun down, sun up to sun down
Blistered hands and a parched mouth

[Chorus]
You know she is gone
You know there's no saving her
You know she is gone
You know
Her cheating, her weak will, the addiction, that needle
Her cheating, her weak will, the addiction, that needle
