Turn the tide

The waves crash high upon the stones that make up our foundation The sunlight breaks across the shore as we walk into the station So far away, so far away, I feel you slipping under You gasp for air and start to choke, is it any wonder I want you to take me to places I never go I want you to show me before we get too old But all we do is hang around and watch the hours subside We're waiting for a thunderstorm to come and turn the tide A smile, a wave, is all it takes, to drown me in your light A memory we haven't made, it flickers then it dies I'll come again another day, when we are both much older Until I gaze upon your face, remember what I told you
