lyrics

THE TIDE

The ocean tides are ruled by the moon
Over that we have no sway
But when my days are filled with you
The tide is in all day
Like the moon, we wax and wane
We shine at different times
You shine on me your brightness
I want you to be mine
But our love is shared with others
And will cut them like a knife
One day we’ll be together
But it won’t be in this life
I cannot love another
When already taken
We must go our separate ways
Our love is broken
The ocean tides are ruled by the moon
In that, we have no sway
My days are no longer filled with you
And the tide it doesn’t stay...
