The Wake Is Over Lyrics & Tabs by Mark Gillespie
The Wake Is Over
guitar chords lyrics
Can there be a lion that forgets how to roar?
Or a high-flying bird that just refuses to soar?
A rolling wave that never reaches the shoreline?
On and on till the end of time
I don’t want to fight about it anymore
Because there’s no doubt in my mind
And I’m so weary and sore
And I’m reminded by
Each breath that I’m drawing
That it’s life and death, no rest
There’s no line you can draw
There’s always more and more
One day you’re up
the next you’re on the way down
then you’re in it
One day you’re up
the next you’re on the way down
then you’re in it
below, above, and all around
and all for a minute of this love
you go round and around
then you know you’ve found
a straighter way through the battleground
and you can see just how bad
it’s really been
but now the battlefield
is turning green
and you can see that no matter
how bad it seems
a friend can mend a life
of broken dreams
and you know you’re free to go in love
and you think it’s you and me now
then you hear some voice moaning
it’s alone, alone
were you hurled
or did you just float?
Falling down to the world
Without love, without hope
Were you bound or free
And was I really drowning?
Coming down to me
Both feet on the ground
And in the whirlwind
You can only hope you can float
Never leaving what you’ve found
Not believing in ghosts
Then there’s nothing to know
Not even hoping in hope
Just taking it slow
Because we’re in the same boat
There’s no snake, no rope
And somehow you know it takes time
Taking it slowly
But the wake is over
Taking it slow
The wake is over
You can see how happy I am
You can see the lion
Lying down with the lamb
You can see how good I’m feeling
I didn’t know if the feeling was real
And you can see how happy I am
I am a man who didn’t understand
And you can see just how good I feel
I feel it in my heart
That you’ve been stealing
Is that how you feel?
Turning the wheel, turning
Is that how you feel?
Take this heart
That you’ve been stealing
You don’t have to kneel
You’re turning the wheel, turning
Is that how you feel?
