Tide
Weather Pending Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Melody inside my head, memories I cannot shed

Music?s a tall strong tree, and with love is the only way to be

Pretty people and their pretty things,

Let my need of all that spread wings and fly away (4 X)
Let the tide bring in things from outerspace,

all the gifts that we left at our birthplace

Let the tide take you take you to sea, take you away, take you away

Waiting at the shoreline?s edge, sinking, thoughts in my head

breeze blows upon my skin, and all the worries bubble within

Sweet air I breath in slow,

and exhale all I can?t control, please fly away (4 X)

Let the tide bring in things from outerspace,

all the gifts that we left at our birthplace

Let the tide take you take you to sea, take you away, take you away

L-let the tide, let the tide (2 X)

Pretty people and all their pretty things,

let my need of all that spread wings (4X) and fly away (4X)

Let the tide bring in things from outerspace,

all the gifts that we left at our birthplace

Let the tide take you take you to sea, take you away, take you away

L-let the tide, let the tide (2 X)





Take you away, take you away . . .
