The wind caught the seagull and chased it off the shore   See how it trembles   Givin' in, drifting off   A boy lit a cigarette   While the girl closed the door   These hopeless romantic fools   Won’t be lovers no more      But see how the waves are rushing in   And see how the waves are washing off   Leaving the shore so pure   Cleansing until it’s white as snow      A dear's gasping for air   It’s made its last mistake   A fool for old nature’s rules   Drifts away in the wake of the dawn   A car leaves the front yard   Of a house she calls home   Her man won’t be back again   Won’t be home anymore      But see how the waves are rushing in   And see how the waves are washing off   Leaving the shore so pure   Cleansing until it’s white as snow      New day’s dawn as the dark drifts away
