I'm here watching the waves
Just how long can it be
Till that melody strays
Through my mind and I'm cancelled
Can't see no wood for the trees
Can't tell no land for the sky
When you're in up to your knees
You soon find out who your friends are

"Second verse":
Hmm
Ah for the taste of it sweet
One more time from the top
Thoughts like crumbs in the sheets
Words thrown as coins in a cup
Just one more house in the rain
Just one more spoonful of salt
And now I'm at it again
Banging on like it's my fault

"Chorus":
Everything you are
Everything you are
Everything you are i long to be
Everything you are
Everything you are
Everything you are i long to be, hmm
"Third verse":
I gave it all i could give
I took that ghost for my bride
Went day by day trying to live
With my heart on the outside
I watched the shape of it rise
To dance like wind through the wheat
Steal the light from your eyes
In the space of a heartbeat

"Pre chorus"
Everything fills with distance
Yeah everything

"Chorus"
Everything you are
Everything you are
Everything you are i long to be
Everything you are
Everything you are
Everything you are i long to be
Everything you are
Everything you are
Everything you are i long to be
Everything you are
Everything you are
Everything you are i long to be

"Fourth verse"
Songs that push through the dirt
Ploughing these roads into fields
Sounding the notes of the words
Till everything fills with distanceLyrics provided by TANCODEhttp://lyricsever.com/" readonly=""/>

Watching the Waves Lyrics

"First verse":

I'm here watching the waves
Just how long can it be
Till that melody strays
Through my mind and I'm cancelled
Can't see no wood for the trees
Can't tell no land for the sky
When you're in up to your knees
You soon find out who your friends are

"Second verse":
Hmm
Ah for the taste of it sweet
One more time from the top
Thoughts like crumbs in the sheets
Words thrown as coins in a cup
Just one more house in the rain
Just one more spoonful of salt
And now I'm at it again
Banging on like it's my fault

"Chorus":
Everything you are
Everything you are
Everything you are i long to be
Everything you are
Everything you are
Everything you are i long to be, hmm
"Third verse":
I gave it all i could give
I took that ghost for my bride
Went day by day trying to live
With my heart on the outside
I watched the shape of it rise
To dance like wind through the wheat
Steal the light from your eyes
In the space of a heartbeat

"Pre chorus"
Everything fills with distance
Yeah everything

"Chorus"
Everything you are
Everything you are
Everything you are i long to be
Everything you are
Everything you are
Everything you are i long to be
Everything you are
Everything you are
Everything you are i long to be
Everything you are
Everything you are
Everything you are i long to be

"Fourth verse"
Songs that push through the dirt
Ploughing these roads into fields
Sounding the notes of the words
Till everything fills with distance

3) an American singer-songwriter

1) David Gray is a British singer-songwriter born on June 13, 1968 in Sale, United Kingdom. He released his first studio album in 1993 and received worldwide attention after the release of White Ladder six years later in 1999.
Gray moved to Wales at age 9 and later returned to the north-west of England to attend the University of Liverpool. His musical career got early support from a dedicated Irish fan base. After a few marginally-successful releases through the 1990s, Gray's breakthrough came with the worldwide release in 1999 of his fourth album, White Ladder; this was a critical and commercial success and included his best-known songs, "This Years Love" and "Babylon". In the United States, the album received a boost from jam-band leader Dave Matthews, who made it the first release by the record company he co-founded, ATO Records.
On August 11, 2001 White Ladder at last reached the top of the UK charts, having been selling steadily since its reissue the previous May, thereby setting a new record for the longest uninterrupted climb to No. 1. The follow-up, A New Day At Midnight, also hit No. 1, and Gray's seventh album, Life in Slow Motion was released on September 12, 2005.
Gray's early music was in a contemporary folk-rock, singer-songwriter mode; his primary instrument was acoustic guitar, with occasional piano. 1996's Sell Sell Sell featured some rock arrangements and electric instrumentation. Starting with the release of White Ladder in 1999, Gray began to make significant use of computer-generated music to accompany his voice and acoustic instrumentation, a technique which differentiates him from many of his peers. Despite the move to more complex music, Gray has used small-scale, often home-based, recording methods and equipment and espoused a "do it yourself" approach to music production. However, Life in Slow Motion is a collaboration with noted producer Marius De Vries.
David Gray's brothers-in-law are Paul and Phillip Hartnoll, formerly of the Techno/Rave band Orbital. Because of this relationship, Gray performed guest vocals on the Orbital single Illuminate, while Paul Hartnoll produced a breakbeat remix of Gray's song "Please Forgive Me".
His successful single "January Rain" was included in the original soundtrack of the movie Serendipity, starring John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale.
