[Verse 1]
Did you give up the ghost
Forever that night
Reach Angel Island
With stars as your light?
It was June of 1966
You were last seen
With your water wings

[Pre-Chorus]
Did you drown in the ocean
Or make your great escape
Did you die in slow motion
Off the coast of the bay?

[Chorus]
We you knew that you couldn't stay
(The waves, the waves, the waves)
Well you knew that you couldn't stay
(The waves, the waves, the waves)

[Verse 2]
Planned an ocean of fate
Some great eraser
All at oncе I fell awake
That place is a glaciеr
[Pre-Chorus]
Did you drown in the ocean
Or make your great escape
Did you die in slow motion
Off the coast of the bay?

[Chorus]
We you knew that you couldn't stay
(The waves, the waves, the waves)
Well you knew that you couldn't stay
(The waves, the waves, the waves)
We you knew that you couldn't stay
(The waves, the waves, the waves)
Well you knew that you couldn't stay
(The waves, the waves, the waves)
