Ride A Wave Lyrics - Singles - Tommy Homonym

As I considered jumping out the window, something jumped in. 

My shadow turned to vapor, and I felt the world begin. 

I was new. I was free. 

It was a million years after and away from me. 

I was the very first mongoose to confront the ancient snake. 

I was the last ice age glacier to melt into a lake. 

I was anything but alone. 

It had been there all the time, and I had always known. 

Light is so fast; they say there's nothing faster. 

Let me ride a wave of light away from this disaster. 

The sunlight poured in through the glass and scattered 'round my head. 

The dog and cat curled up together, golden on the bed. 

I couldn't help but cry. 

It would take a million words and days to tell you why. 

Light goes so far, in every possible direction. 

Let me ride a wave of light away from my reflection. 

Light is so strong; it will bend but never falter. 

Let me be the beam of light that falls upon the altar.
