Lyrics of Wave by Patti Smith
verse
Hi, hi, I was running after you for a long time
I, I was watching you from
Actually, I've watched you for a long time
I like to watch you when you're walking
Back and forth on the beach
And the way your, the way your cloth looks
I like, I like to see the edges, the bottom of it get all wet
When you're walking near the water there
It's real nice to talk to you
I didn't, I-I-I-I-I
verse
How are you? How are you?
I saw, I saw you from your balcony window
And you were standing there waving at everybody
It was really great because there was about
A billion people there, but when I was waving to you
Uh, the way your face was, it was so
The way your face was
It made me feel exactly like we're -
It's not that you were just waving to me, but
That we were, we were waving to each other
verse
Really it was really wonderful
I really felt happy
It really made me happy
And, um, I, I just wanted to thank you
verse
Because, ahem
You
You really, really, you made me
You made me feel good
And
Oh I, it's nothing
I, ahem, I, well I'm just clumsy
Yeah
No, it's just a band-aid
No, it's ok
verse
Oh no, I'm always dumb
Something's always happening to me
Yeah, well, I'll be seein' ya
Goodbye, bye
chorus
Wave thou art pretty (wave thou art pretty)
Wave thou art high (wave thou art high)
Wave thou are music
Wave thou are white (wave thou art white)
chorus
(Oh albino)
(Oh albino)
Wave thou art high
(Wave, thou art pretty)
Wave to the city
Wave
outro
Goodbye
Goodbye sir
Goodbye papa
