Promised Tide Lyrics

I can't believe what I have seen
A girl that I know from a dream
She is the one, though she don't know
And I must find out where she's to go

I get the feeling that we met before
Although I do not think that she saw
Eyes open wide
Unleash the tide

As the ocean washed over me
And the setting sky took over me
I will sail upon this promised tide for days
But the promised tide may lie
About the promises it makes

When I find that which is naturally mine
I sail from the harbor out to the sea
I follow that map that I drew in a dream
To the land where you fell in love with me

To a place where you chose to be with me
I will sail upon this promised tide for days
But the promised tide may lie
About the promises it makes

I'm a sailor in search of land
I'm a player without a band
I'm a soldier in search of war

I have money, but I am poor
Land ahoy, I think I saw
The promised tide released me
Upon the shore, I got the feeling once more
As the girl from dreams stood over me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
