She comes in waves

She'll dive into anything
She's got the golden ring
She's got the moon in her hair

To touch her is permanent
Salt on her satin skin
It's all OK when she's there

I don't want to
But I have to
Leave it all up in the air

And she comes in waves
And then slips away
And I wish she'd stay
But you can't always get what you want
And she comes in waves
Here she comes

She's pretty when she smiles
And it goes on for miles
Finds me wherever I am

Then I wake up alone
Like a bird that has flown
Into something I don't understand

Check the rear-view mirror
Watch it all wash away once again

And she comes in waves
And then slips away
And I wish she'd stay
But you can't always get what you want
And she comes in waves
Here she comes

Don't know what I'm doing
It's pushing and pulling me underneath
It's hard to breathe

And I know that tonight
I'll be thinking it might
Be the last time she leaves

She's here when she's here, then she's gone

And she comes in waves
And then slips away
And I wish she'd stay
But you can't always get what you want
And she comes in waves
Here she comes
Here she comes
She comes in waves
