about

The Wave. Inspired by Heidrik a Heygum’s beautiful film Waves:
A Portrait of Maria a Heygum (2010) about his Faroese grandmother’s remarkable relationship with the ocean

lyrics

The Wave by Carol Fieldhouse

Here as the tides run
The sky mirror’s glint hits my eyes
With borrowed light bounced through the moon
Calls to me, calls to me ocean time

And the wave came creeping
The wave came creeping along the shore
And the wave came

Stilled, as the cloud fell
Weeks overwhelmed, silent life
Lost, out of sight, beyond your reach
You said, ‘Swim, Mia, feel the ocean’s might’

And the wave came creeping
The wave came creeping to my door
And the wave came

‘Go to the ocean, go to the ocean, swim!
Go to the ocean, go to the ocean....live’

Wrapped in the sea’s swell
The pull of the tide’s soothing sigh
Far distant storms break on the beach
Turning me, turning me to the light

And the wave came creeping
The wave came creeping to the shore
And the wave came
