"Tide" lyrics

"Tide"

Time and tide wait for no one
Wait for no one
Wait for no one

I was young when the water was rising
But didn't drown
Every tumbling wave capsizing
Knocked me around
That was the first time I learned that

Time and tide wait for no one
Wait for no one
Wait for no one

I got stuck when the water receded
Dropped in the sand
It was tempting to read as defeated
Throw up my hands
But I was once more reminded:

Time and tide wait for no one
Wait for no one
Wait for no one

Staring out from the edge of erosion
At what the tide took back
Floating off where the moon meets the ocean
Whatever I lack, well I'm not swimming out after it

Time and tide wait for no one
Wait for no one
Wait for no one
Time and tide wait for no one
Wait for no one
Wait for no one
Time and tide wait for no one
Wait for no one
Wait for no one
Time and tide wait for no one
Wait for no one
Wait for no one
