Lowell Priestley - Waves Of Yesterday Lyrics

I stand at the edge of the shore
Where echoes of time pull me in once more.
The tide rolls in brings memories near
Of voices I loved of days I held dear.

But every wave that crashes down
Washes away the trace of sound.
I reach out for what's long gone
But yesterday's waves they carry on.

The waves of yesterday they call my name
Whispering softly like a lost refrain.
They rise and fall just out of reach
Leaving me alone on this empty beach.
The waves of yesterday they come and go
Bringing back the love I used to know.
But no matter how strong I stand
They slip away like grains of sand.

I trace the lines on the shifting ground
Of moments once lost now barely found.
The ocean's pull it holds me tight
Between the past and fading light.

I close my eyes and feel the breeze
A fleeting touch of memories.
But with each gust they drift away
Like the waves that never stay.

The waves of yesterday they call my name
Whispering softly like a lost refrain.
They rise and fall just out of reach
Leaving me alone on this empty beach.
The waves of yesterday they come and go
Bringing back the love I used to know.
But no matter how strong I stand
They slip away like grains of sand.

I walk the shore where time won't stay
Carried by the waves of yesterday.
But in the pull I find my way
To let the waves lead me astray.

The waves of yesterday they call my name
Whispering softly like a lost refrain.
They rise and fall just out of reach
Leaving me alone on this empty beach.
The waves of yesterday they come and go
Bringing back the love I used to know.
But no matter how strong I stand
They slip away like grains of sand.

Like grains of sand...
In yesterday's waves I find my stand.
