lyrics

Time And Tide

Struggle to breathe as you’re fighting the rip,
Losing the strength in your weakening grip,
Carried away, you’re ready to give up the fight.
Trapped in the swell, between sea and shore,
Fighting for breath, you can’t take any more,
The salt on your skin is the kiss that you shared in the night.

It’s the feeling of hope as you cling to the rope
You’re fighting your pride.
The excuse that you gave, when you begged to be saved,
And nobody cried.
It’s too late for escape and all that awaits
Is the time and the tide.
The time and the tide.

Held in the curve of the point as it breaks,
A moment’s distraction is all that it takes,
And no-one is looking to see as you’re drifting away.
All that is left is a towel on the beach,
A dip in the sand and a life you can’t reach,
A harp or a dragon to flag that you once passed this way.

It’s the point on the wave when the love that you crave
Leaves you lost in the foam.
All the tides that you brave, all the love that you gave
Come to carry you home.
You can see no escape and all that awaits
Is the time and the tide.

The water enfolds, you feel yourself sink,
The shock of the cold, you’re nearing the brink,
Memories flash, you’re starting to think it’s too late.
Collapsed to an instant, the life that you had,
You notice you’re smiling, this isn’t too bad,
You drift into darkness and give yourself up to your fate.

With a start of surprise, you open your eyes
And you’re not alone.
She is there on the sand, you reach for her hand,
She’s taking you home.
So you make your escape and nobody waits
For the time and the tide.

For the time and the tide.
For the time and the tide.
For the time and the tide.
For the time and the tide.
