I don't know what the source of these lyrics is, because they are incorrect in a few places ('And they move FROM the East', 'No patience for the WAVE nor its crest', and 'Ideal wave' is never sung) as far as the album version goes. But they are certainly punctuated according to Carey's style, with arbitrarily capitalised words, odd hyphenates, an excess of colons and double quotation marks, and very short sentences which don't make rhetorical sense. But: incredible song, is the point, everything about it. Probably the best on the album, and second only to Bushels in their oeuvre, in my opinion.
The lyrics are copied exactly from the liner notes. It's not uncommon for Carey, or anyone for that matter, to deviate from them slightly recording the cut that makes the album.
