[Verse 1]
a dance under vaporous sheets
smooth and sweet like an uncertain desert breeze
cool and warm like an indian storm
calm and wild like the beating heart of a hazy cyclone
[Chorus]
a gentle wave
on the surface of a sleeping african lake
unknown land, beautiful, genuine, candid
original thought, artless shape, virgin colors
hear the melody waking up the night from the darkness
[Verse 2]
singing a song made of whispers and sighs
ebony sculpture yearning for the morning dew
retracing you for the love of beauty
in this golden embrace in this silenced echoes
[Chorus]
a gentle wave
on the surface of a sleeping african lake
unknown land, beautiful, genuine, candid
original thought, artless shape, virgin colors
hear the melody waking up the night from the darkness
[Bridge]
erase the memory, keep the emotion
a perfect song, imperfect words, a painful desire
[Verse 3]
a caress on an open scar
a faith drifting away to the High
love of grace, love of all love
heart, soul, faith
[Outro]
A gentle wave
on the surface of sleeping african lake
