They Took the Waves

Come on
Yeah

Oh when we wanted to walk
They took away the street
Where we liked to walk
Where we wanted to talk
They took away the cafe where we liked to talk
When we wanted some shade
Many took away the trade

When we wanted some love
They took you away from me
They took everything
They took everything away

When we wanted to surf
They took the waves
They took the waves
They took everything away
From you and me
They took the waves
They took everything away
From you and me

Come on now

And when we wanted something
The weaker called our own
Oh they roll in the back
And took away our clothes

And when we wanted to walk
You and me
Hanging head
At the moonlight
They took the moon
They took the moon
They took the moon
There out of the sky

They took everything
They took everything away

And when we wanted to surf
Many took the waves
They took the waves
They took everything away
From you and me
They took the waves
They took everything away
From you and me

Come on now

You remember the waves
We used to walk on the beach
We rock hand in hand
And look the water, yeah
Go over our feet
So calm we stand
You and me
Out of the sea

We talked about love
We talked about you
We talked about us
Eternity

We can't do it anymore

We can't do it anymore

They took it
They took the waves
Oh yeah
They took everything away

We got nothing
We got nothing
Yeah we took it all away

They took the waves
They took everything
