The Rising Tide (Acoustic Version)

The seabirds dance along the shore

I hold them down, don't know what for

I see them now and then

It's time they changed their tune

My pain, my fear, my faith is lost

Don't wait for all of the above

I sold my soul to them

But saved a piece for you

You're on your way to nothing kind

I hear your heart, your open mind

I held your stare, our hands entwined

I feel the hurt behind your eyes

You point me to this great divide

My blood runs cold, it turns to ice

Your haunting words, they humble mine

The crashing waves, the rising tide

My memory turns back to the night

We sang the songs that made you cry

I heard your voice again

And broke the same as you

There's people waiting to be loved

I always thought we had it once

You're sure you've had enough

I know for sure it's true

You're on your way to nothing kind

I hear your heart, your open mind

I held your stare, our hands entwined

I feel the hurt behind your eyes

You point me to this great divide

My blood runs cold, it turns to ice

Your haunting words, they humble mine

The crashing waves, the rising tide

I will never be the same again

I will never be the same again

And oh my lord

Was it too good to be true, was it too good to be true?

The seabirds dance along the shore

I hold them down, don't know what for

I sold my soul to them

But saved a piece for you

You're on your way to nothing kind

I hear your heart, your open mind

I held your stare, our hands entwined

I feel the hurt behind your eyes

You point me to this great divide

My blood runs cold, it turns to ice

Your haunting words, they humble mine

The crashing waves, the rising tide
