The Tide Will Rise lyrics
by Bruce Hornsby
B. r. hornsby/john hornsbySometimes I get luckyMost times I come up shortGot to pull up the linesGot to move around the bendThey say it's a dying breedThey say it's going to disappearNothing I can do, oh but pull up the load againThe tide will riseAnd the tide will fallWe'll be out on the waterBefore the break of dawnThe tide will riseAnd the tide will fallOh, we'll be working on the waterWhen the long, long day is goneFull moon it was always bestKeep a little and you sell the restLiving on hope that the seed is sown againRed sky in the eveningBetter times are coming up they sayWell, why do I feel like it's all coming to an endThe tide will riseAnd the tide will fallWe'll be out on the waterBefore the break of dawnThe tide will riseAnd the tide will fallOh, we'll be working on the waterWhen the long, long day is goneWhen the seed is brokenNothing left to grow onWhen you lose the seedIt's hard to bring it on backNever bowed to no oneAlways went my own wayBroke down, run around, but I won't run awayAnd the tide will riseThe tide will riseAnd the tide will fallWe'll be out on the waterBefore the break of dawnThe tide will riseAnd the tide will fallOh, we'll be working on the waterWhen the long, long day is gone
