somehow the atmosphere has changed feel it's time to rearrange - the flood is coming in ... please say none of your dreams will subside, 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, time is running through our hands like grains of sand we're slowly gettin' old, can't stop the tide
now that the grapes of wrath are here though you tell me: have no fear when the breakers come to crush please save one of your fleeting smiles for me make believe you will be here when the flood is coming in we live, live until we're worn, try to be as one but how can we succeed ?
('cause) we can't stop the tide as it's bringin' in our dykes, time is running through our hands like grains of sand we're slowly gettin' old, can't stop the tide as it's bringin' in our dykes, time is running through our hands like grains of sand we're slowly gettin' old,
(and that's why ...) I welcome the naught to hollow out my derelict eyes I'm fading away so I won't be around
('cause) we can't stop the tide as it's bringin' in our dykes, time is running through our hands like grains of sand we're slowly gettin' old, can't stop the tideas it's bringin' in our dykes, time is running through our hands like grains of sand we're slowly gettin' old, can't stop the tide
