The Rising Tide

The rising tide has kept us dry and high
This is the best time in my life, the time of the open skies
It's leafy green and the sunlight is chasing your eye
This is the best time to let our best intentions slide inside
Valerie said it might be strong
So we don't see the light
So we would last so long
Step out onto the boat and we get lost
We could calm you down, if you get turned around
I guess we're all a bit lost
The tide is rising just enough to get us by
This is the right time for us to step up, step outside of life
Swing side to side, I caught the touch of your hand
Let it out for unknown pleasures in some unknown new land
Michael says that he thinks he's strong
So we can feel alive
So we last all night long
Get up, get out and ramble round
Chasing that goal
Now it's green grass grass
And six-string chasing
Headlights are gone
And ?? let all best intentions expire
Light up, you said, light up so we can all feel our desire
The rising tide drifts on an ocean of sand
Will we have a chance to take a moment like this in our time again?
Lisa said, it's coming on so strong
I feel my head's on fire
I've never felt this way before
Blasting around until everyone joined in the song
Now we are falling down
We're all good and gone
