Lyrics
All my life
I have been waiting with eyes
That hunger for the shore, the sun
The glistening sand beneath my feet
I seek a clear view of the sky
Untarnished by the veil of the ocean's surface
I long to breath the sweet air
To dry in the breeze
I look to the tide
the tide
Though I will miss the haunting whale calls
The deep and dark abyss
The reef I called my home
The rhythm in the current
I look to the tide
the tide
The stars above, they call to me
Their melody beckoning
In the cove I peer unnoticed
I seem a myth
But I am here
Soon I'll wash up in the tide, the tide
