Log in the Waves Lyrics

Broken hearted and sad, I walk upright;
A dumb ape in a world of dumb apes,
A log in the waves.

Knowing sorrow's always beside me, I walk upright.
"O crown of light!" I sometimes say,
"I know you're grand,
But I must not forget my wife,
So I hold her hand"

And with the wide-eyes sorrow brings
We see it all
Like logs in the waves:
Effortless through oceans squalls,

And we know storms are relentless,
So so are we. We will not leave.

Sadness, my wife, and I
Are honest with each other
And in mornings, I reach my hand under the quilt
Where she hides
To tickle her feet
And at my touch,
She cracks a smile
