The Tide - Ships Have Sailed

Wide awake from a dream

Of a life that you long for, you

Feel you want just to scream

So the whole world can hear you as you cry out:

Give us what we want

And if it’s what you want, don’t give it up

Listen to the tides turn, and feel your heart yearn, just a little more

Floating back and forth in a sea of give and take, it’s like a war

Sometimes thinking we’re sinking makes us struggle just, a little more

Tonight it may be hard to try, but wait until the tide is high, to come ashore

They say «go with the flow»

But you’re not gonna go, oh no

'Cause the world doesn’t wait for the

Tide to decide just to turn your way

They might laugh in your face

So you keep trying to change

This tune that you play, each day

And you’re humming along

You’ll know when you hear it

So keep keeping on

And when you hear that song, you can’t get enough

Listen to the tides turn, and feel your heart yearn, just a little more

Floating back and forth in a sea of give and take, it’s like a war

Sometimes thinking we’re sinking makes us struggle just, a little more

Tonight it may be hard to try, but wait until the tide is high, to come ashore

'Cause you gotta wait… you gotta wait…

You gotta wait 'til the tide is high…

Listen to the tides turn, and feel your heart yearn, just a little more

Floating back and forth in a sea of give and take, it’s like a war

Sometimes thinking we’re sinking makes us struggle just, a little more

Tonight it may be hard to try, but wait until the tide is high, to come ashore
