about

(Von Trier, 1996)
I used up my voice with his name

Bess and the bells.

lyrics

It was required that an airfield be built
Work was undertaken urgently
The runway stretched back to the barren hills
From the rocky edge of the stormy sea

Fuel tanks were topped up full and deep
The vessels thrown out courageously
Ten boiler suits for the maiden fleet
For the men to leave to mine the sea

Breaking the waves, with our runway stretched out towards the stars
Breaking like waves, rising up between you and I
Count the distance rolling by
Breaking the waves

The phone box quivered in the rain
As I waited for the first call to come through
I made my lips practise his name
Wait til they see what has happened to you

How much of us will there be left?
What of you will emerge from the rescue plane?
Anticipate and mourn bereft
I used up my voice with his name

Breaking the waves, with our runway stretched out towards the stars
Breaking like waves, rising up between you and I
Count the distance rolling by
Breaking the waves
Breaking the waves

I soldier on and we endure
Time passes over as we are
The ghost of life from death’s allure
I push your legs into the car

Breaking the waves, with our runway stretched out towards the stars
Breaking like waves, rising up between you and I
Count the distance rolling by
