Low tide

Verse

At low tide you see things

You’ve never seen before.

Tangled lines, old shipwrecks

Remains of shrimp boat doors.

At low tide you feel things

You’ve never felt before;

Emotions you’ve suppressed

Since fighting that damn war..

Chorus

At low tide you can’t hide

Wounds that won’t heal.

You face it you fight it

Admit that it’s real.

At low tide, at low tide

There’s no place to hide.

Better sail, better sail

Before it’s low tide.

Verse

At low tide there’s whiskey.

You walk with a cane.

You struggle, you anguish

You learn love brings pain.

At low tide the world sees

What you’ve tried to hide.

Skeletons in closets;

The tears in your eyes.

Chorus

At low tide you can’t hide

Wounds that won’t heal.

You face it you fight it

Admit that it’s real.

At low tide, at low tide

There’s no place to hide.

Better sail, better sail

Before it’s low tide.

Bridge

If you’re walking and you see me

I’m that fragile seashell.

Please listen, please listen

I’ve a story to tell.
