lyrics

Now you watch for the light as you grasp oh so tight
To the mast like the sail in a gale
Through the storm in the room, hear the waves sing a tune
Of the birds and the shark and the whale

Scream at the tide, washing over your pride
Watch the walls crumble back into sand
Stood on the beach as you’re aching to reach
She is waving to some distant land

I don’t know what I was thinking about, but it possibly wasn’t you
I have moments in time, where the picture in mind
Is so bleak and so dark, that I can’t pull it through

Scream at the tide, washing over your pride
Watch the walls crumble back into sand
Stood on the beach as you’re aching to reach
She is waving to some distant land

Swim to the shore, keep your head from the water
That laps over you every wave
Rebuild the walls, on the cliffs not the shore
Where your heart and your worries will always be safe

Please don’t

Scream at the tide, washing over your pride
Watch the walls crumble back into sand
Stood on the beach as you’re aching to reach
She is waving to some distant land
And I’m crying in time, to the rhythm that shines
Now the sun slowly lifts into view
There’s a ship set to sail and it’s doomed not to fail
But to rise to the heavens with you.
