somehow the atmosphere has changed
I feel it’s time to rearrange, ('cause) the flood is coming in
please swear none of our dreams will subside and
promise you’ll be by my side when the breakers come to crush
so rest, yield what’s left behind
the movements of your mind can never change your fate
'cause we can’t stop the tide as it’s bringin’ in our dykes,
while time is running through our hands like grains of sand
we’re slowly gettin’ old, can’t stop the tide
now that that the grapes of wrath are here
but though you tell me: 'have no fear' when the flood is coming in
please save one of your fleeting smiles for me
and make believe you will be here
when the breakers come to crush
we live, live until we’re worn and try to be as one
but how can we succeed
if we can’t change the ...
I welcome the naught to hollow out my derelict eyes
I’m fading away like I’ve never been around
we can’t stop the tide as it’s bringin’ in our dykes,
while time is running through our hands like grains of sand
we’re slowly gettin’ old, can’t stop the tide
