She shook her head and I saw jewels
I saw golden trinkets hanging there and quivering
Then she told me 'Hey, I see the sea'
'Watch how the creases form then disappear'
We saw a new day forming.

The sun had risen now and set the fibres burning
We got the feeling of riding the waves.

Then light struck upon the brooding trees
Making one leaf seem transparent and then shimmering
Then an arc of fire was burning on the distant rim
Of the horizon and we gazed in awe.

The sun had risen now and set the fibres burning
We got the feeling of riding the waves.

The sun had risen now and set the fibres burning
We got the feeling of riding the waves.

Then she whispered 'Look'
'The honey-coloured ball is lilting its way into another morning'
Then she flicked the back of her neck, defiantly
And for such gestures one could fall hopelessly in love for a lifetime.

The sun had risen now and set the fibres burning
We got the feeling of riding the waves
We got the feeling of riding the waves
We got the feeling of riding the waves
Oh we got, we got, we got, we got
We got the feeling of riding the waves
Oh ...
