On Short Wave
[Intro]
"On Short Wave"

[Verse 1]
I often said my problems with too much to say
Good things flow
The way to cover topics God's forgot about
High beams low

[Refrain]
On short wave, on short wave
The only real memory I'll ever have

[Verse 2]
In unrealistic boyhoods, we made no mistakes
In what we chose
Through mosses green on slippery black rocks we would break
Far too close

[Refrain]
To short wave, to short wave

[Bridge]
I have survived the acid test to reach you
I'm never sightless to the outstretch of your arms
Wearing its disguise in exiting the idle flight controlling
All-encompassing cajoling
Where our wings fold over
You have your rainbow waiting
[Refrain]
On short wave, on short wave
The only real memory I'll ever have
