Bruce Hornsby - The Tide Will Rise lyrics

B. r. hornsby/john hornsby Sometimes i get lucky Most times i come up short Got to pull up the lines Got to move around the bend They say it's a dying breed They say it's going to disappear Nothing i can do, oh but pull up the load again The tide will rise And the tide will fall We'll be out on the water Before the break of dawn The tide will rise And the tide will fall Oh, we'll be working on the water When the long, long day is gone Full moon it was always best Keep a little and you sell the rest Living on hope that the seed is sown again Red sky in the evening Better times are coming up they say Well, why do i feel like it's all coming to an end The tide will rise And the tide will fall We'll be out on the water Before the break of dawn The tide will rise And the tide will fall Oh, we'll be working on the water When the long, long day is gone When the seed is broken Nothing left to grow on When you lose the seed It's hard to bring it on back Never bowed to no one Always went my own way Broke down, run around, but i won't run away And the tide will rise The tide will rise And the tide will fall We'll be out on the water Before the break of dawn The tide will rise And the tide will fall Oh, we'll be working on the water When the long, long day is gone
