Wave Lyrics by Patti Smith Group

Wave

1979

Hi. Hi. I was running after you for a long time. I was watching for you... actually I've watched you for a long time. I like to watch you when you're walking back and forth on the beach. And the way your, the way your cloth looks. I like I like to see the edges, the bottom of it get all wet when you're walking near the water there. It's real nice to talk to you. I didn't I-I-I-I. How are you? How are you? I saw I saw you from your balcony window and you were standing there waving at everybody. It was really great because there was about a billion people there, but when I was waving to you, the way your face was, it was so, the way your face was, it made me feel exactly like we're, it's not that you were just waving to me, but that we were we were waving to each other. Really it was wonderful. I felt really happy. And. Um. I. I just wanted to thank you because you, you really really you made me feel good and, oh, I, it's nothing. Well I'm just clumsy. No, it's just a Band-Aid. No, it's OK. Oh no, I'm always doing. Somethings always happening to me. Well. I'll be seeing you. Good-bye. Bye. Good-bye sir. Good-bye papa...
Wave thou art pretty, Wave thou art high
Wave thou art music, Wave thou art why
Wave thou art pretty, Wave thou art high
Wave to the city, wave wave good-bye
