The Tide

Swim where it is shallow Go to the gallows with your lover Not with me Sing songs of forever Say something clever to your lover Not to me And every single day I've felt the tide Take your secret lesson Make your confession to your lover Not to me Write your poems and verses Spit all your curses at your lover Not at me And every single day I've felt the tide Buy baubles and dresses Save your caresses for your lover Not for me Drink hearty and revel Go to the devil with your lover Not with me And every single day I've felt the tide Every single day I felt the tide
