No one sets out to break a heart
But then it surely happens
Surprise surprise the rush of time
Has turned us out of fashion
Now we're staring down a future
That used to feel so very far away
No one's love is ever given
Surely it's just borrowed
Returned anew or held onto
And given back tomorrow
With someone else's story
And someone else's sorrow
There's a sea change coming
To sweep us all away
There's a sea change coming
Who am I to fight the waves?
Who am I to fight the waves?
It feels to me the more I see
The less I understand it
And as the years attach to me
I find that I'm pretending
To be calmer, to be stronger, to be ready for
How the story ends
What doesn't change cannot stay the same
There's a sea change coming
To sweep us all away
There's a sea change coming
Who am I to fight the waves?
Who am I to fight the waves?
That's the way that this love goes
You let it grow or it grows old
You're either on the ride or in the wake
When my time is done
I hope that I will be ready to go
Who am I to fight the waves?
Who am I to fight the waves?
There's a sea change coming
Oh to sweep us all away
There's a sea change coming
Who am I to fight the waves?
There's a sea change coming
Oh to sweep us all away
There's a sea change coming
Who am I to fight the waves?
Who am I to fight the waves?
