| Out on the open |
| Over the depths |
| You are the wind and I am the sea |
| Steer steady forward |
| I want to believe |
| You sail us towards security |
|
| And the waves crave my soul |
| In dreams they swallow me whole |
|
| Long black waves haunt me in my sleep |
| Long black waves washing over me |
| Call my name pull towards the endless deep |
| Long black waves oh what hides beneath the sea |
|
| The wheel and the rope |
| Roughen our hands |
| Cracks in the wood will not frighten you |
| Wild is the water |
| High the cry of gulls |
| I'm so afraid of slipping through |
|
| And the waves crave my soul |
| In dreams they swallow me whole |
|
| Long black waves haunt me in my sleep |
| Long black waves washing over me |
| Call my name pull towards the endless deep |
| Long black waves oh what hides beneath the sea |
|
| Mathew, Mark, Luke and John |
| God bless the bed that I lie on |
| The water's so cold and the waves are high |
| Will you keep me safe till morning light? |
| When I lay me down to sleep |
| I see long black waves and what's beneath |
| The water's so cold and the waves are high |
| Is there any hope for a soul like mine? |
|
| Long black waves |
| Long, long black waves |
|
