Constant Wave
By John J Heartfield

I met you quite late in life
Though I knew you
When I was still a child
Your calm thoughts falling softly
At the same time
They grow so wild
I wandered blindly though my life
Making lovers
I made wives and I made friends
People that I’ve loved before
I’ve loved because I saw
A part of you in them

What you say
Comes from a sea apart
In constant waves
Washing my sandy heart
When you make
A gift of who you are
The thrill of your love
Is a constant wave

I’ll be walking down the street
When suddenly your love
Enters my mind
And I know that no matter where
You are
Somehow you’re smiling in time
The madness that I had before
I had because I had
Nowhere to go, oh no
The sadness that I had before
I had because I had to let it go
And I let it go

What you say
Comes from a sea apart
In constant waves
Washing my sandy heart
When you make
A gift of who you are
The thrill of your love
Is a constant wave
