"Waves" lyrics - BUFFY SAINTE-MARIE

BUFFY SAINTE-MARIE
"Waves"

One with hair of golden,
One with skin as deep as autumn burning leaves.
One with eyes of ocean color,
And ocean deep as ocean eyes can be.
Look for him at sunrise,
When the sunrise rainbows puddle every scarlet bay.
And if he's there,
Surfing crystal mountains,
Say hello for me.

One with hands of sinew,
Hands as wired to perfection as a jeweler man's.
One with days of childhood in his days,
And childhood in his ways of being a man.
Look for him at noonday,
When the noonday poppies sweetly nod their sweet perfumes.
And if he's there,
Don't wake him up just pass on by,
And wish him perfect dreams.

One with flowers in his eyes,
And flowers in his dreams of flowers running wild.
One with stars in every smile,
Who smiles at every star and every waterfall.
Look for him at sunset,
When the sunset waves are breaking at infinity.
And if he's there,
Surfing crystal mountains,
Say hello for me.
And if he's there,
A silhouette against the green,
Tell him hello for me.
