lyrics

I had a living working for my family
You know that wooden house up on the hill
One day the storm came down and blew our shack away
Tore everything apart that we had built

This young man thought he had the gift of second sight
But couldn’t see what’s coming down the road
He just believed the world was wrong and he was right
But if you asked him why he didn’t know
He’d only tell you well, I told you so

Look at all the seaweed and the driftwood
Getting washed up on the store
And every day it’s swept away again
Tomorrow there’ll be more
It’s what the tide comes for

The sea looks so inviting from the promenade
I’ll dive from here one night and slip away
I’ve often thought of swimming to America
Just disappear, tomorrow start again
And leave behind the things I couldn’t change
And send a postcard, nothing much to say

So many strangers in the neighbourhood
Been how many times around the block?
Too many traders in the marketplace
Let it stop, just make it stop

I want to let you know that I’ll be back one day
Even if it’s with another name
Whatever happens to me I can promise you
The music and the words will be the same
And when I’m home I’ll know I’m glad I came
We’ll maybe see that summertime again

Look at all the seaweed and the driftwood
Getting washed up on the shore
And every day it’s swept away again
And dragged aside
Tomorrow there’ll be more
It’s what the tide comes for
