words and music by Arlo Guthrie



Loving in golden temples, my love

Is flowing on heavenly seas

The silent commands and heard throughout the lands

And are weaving his patterns with ease



All of the beautiful mountains beyond

Can surely not tempt me to stay

Even my musical melody thoughts

Are memories in yesterday



Wave upon wave of life within me

Give me the strength to go on

Wave after wave of love all around me

Give me the time to catch on



Wave upon wave of life within me

Give me the strength to go on

Wave after wave of love all around me

Give me the time to catch on



(repeat all)
