Waterwall - Lyrics

View Other Lyrics

And all the sea was like a desert
And in that desert was a sign
Our life's anchor'd be lifted on the next wave
And all'd be lost
In a blink of an eye
Have you seen my only true love
I turned to him
But he was gone
He was my light, my joy, my all
Taken by
The Waterwall

I've seen Son's of Kings, and Aliens
Frail-bodied girls and babies
All marked by tears and candlelight
In rows and rows forsaken
Have you seen my only true love
I turned to him
But he was gone
He was my light, my joy, my all
Taken by
The Waterwall

What night fall knows the dawn could never tell

Have you seen my only true love
I turned to him
But he was gone
He was my light, my joy, my all
Taken by
The Waterwall

Story behind the Song

On December 26th, 2004, a great undersea earthquake off the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia triggered a series of devastating tsunamis along the coasts of many communities bordering the Indian Ocean, including parts of Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India and Thailand.

Hundreds of thousands of lives were lost. Thousands left homeless. Unknown numbers cited as missing.
