Lyrics

TIDELINE

Some may crash and some may burn
Well I don’t know about that
You live and learn

Some may choose some may decide
Some do a left
Some do a right

You better run, you better hide
You better dim the light
There’s a full moon rising tonight

And I was counting all the faces
Spinning their lines, spoiling the view
Trying to find a new horizon
Fading away – fading away
And in the quiet of the night
When I think of it all
Stepping time, losing count of the days
I was out of words
And I was out of rhymes
Watching the tideline washing away

Then out of the sun and out of the blue
The planets aligned and I was talking to you

Some may curse and some may fight
But I don’t know about that
Who’s wrong, who’s right

Some may live and some may die
That circle of life
Keeps circling by

The seasons turn, they come and go
Bringing their highs, bringing their lows
There’s a cruel wind blowing tonight

And I was walking on the tideline
Counting the waves washing away
Watching my shadow in the sunset
Fading away – fading away

And I was sick of the plays
I was sick of the scenes
Had enough of the passing goodbyes
There’s not a poet alive
Who could find the words
Some may seek, you never know, some may find

And out of the sun and out of the blue
The planets aligned and I was talking to you

To see the sun rising over the ocean
To see the sun rising bright in your eyes
To make sweet love with you on the tideline
See your smile brighten the sky

To see the sun rising over the ocean
To see the sun rising bright in your eyes
To make sweet love with you on the tideline
Follow our footsteps walking the line

Then out of the sun and out of the blue
The planets aligned and I was talking to you

Some may shout and some may scream
I can’t hear a word
Or what it means

Some may want and some may need
It's a fact of life
Some may bleed

Some may laugh, some may cry
Some may close their eyes
To see their footsteps on the tideline

Out of the sun, out of the blue
The planets aligned and I was talking to you

And out of the sun and out of the blue
The planets aligned and I was talking to you
