The Ship and the Waves is the strongest and most signature-like song of the whole 8.8 album. Hazy almost, with panning to imitate the sea's movement, and full of acknowledgment of life and partnership hardships that shake one to the core... The Ship and the Waves song is propelled by the monotone #jazzy guitar while in opposition to the moving /sound/ waves of rhodes and piano. Full of the unspoken, the Ship and the Waves has its own #acoustic strength and an unseen internal acceptance.
My ship has sailed, but has it really?
There’s too much, too many of uncertain feelings
And the storm in the robes of a lamb
What is missed, does wet mean pleased?
Four-leaved clover, it’s over
My ship has sailed, I’m lost at sea
Or am I the sea, too large to see me..?
I wanted to care but I cared way too much
The way to nowhere, the rays you can touch
Burning bright, burning, burned over with grace
Bear with me, I’ll carry thee
You’ll be the ship
And I’ll be the waves
The waves, the waves
The protector of the commotion
Humor me, human slow as the wide oceans
Blue in the face that never gets too green
Inhuman remains hidden behind screens
Protective smoke and the mirrors
Mirrored to never get clearer
I wanted to be there, I was way too much
Getting there, got nowhere, the whole world to watch
The bright star to follow to forget starts
But bear with me, I’ll carry thee
You’ll be the ship
And I’ll be the waves
The waves, the waves
The ship, the waves, the golden shore views
The ship, the waves, the forever cruise
I wanted to care but I cared way too much
The way to nowhere, the rays you can touch
Burning bright, burning, burned over with grace
Bear with me, I’ll carry thee
You’ll be the ship
And I’ll be the waves
The waves, the waves
Bear with me, I’ll carry thee
Until you’ll be the ship
Until I’ll be the waves
Carry me always
