The Tide

The clocks were ticking Before you'd arrived Your mother wore burdens Well before you and I And there's no stopping the tide Cried in the morning Sun rose to shine She chewed on her worries And smiled through the lies And we felt so safe in the night And there's no stopping The tide Drowned herself in shows When the house was on fire Watched as she withered And shed her desires And I felt so small in the nights Flowers on stones Tears through thin walls Fathers eyes sink as He turned out the lights Cause there's no stopping The Tide
