1, 2, 3, 4 [Verse 1] High tide, summer in the city The kids are looking pretty But isn't it a pity That the sunshine is followed by a thunder And thoughts of going under And is it any wonder [Chorus 1] Why the sea's calling out to me I seem to spend my whole life running From people who would be The d**h of you and me Because I can feel the storm clouds s**ing up my soul [Verse 2] High tide, life is getting faster No one has the answer I try to face the day now in a new way The bottom of a bottle Because every man's a puzzle [Chorus 2] Let's run away together you and me Forever we'd be free Free to spend our whole lives running From people who would be The d**h of you and me Because I can feel the storm clouds s**ing up my soul [Chorus 3] Let's run away to sea Forever we'd be free Free to spend our whole lives running From people who would be The d**h of you and me Because I can feel the storm clouds coming [Outro] I'm watching my tv Or is it watching me? I see another new day dawning It's rising over me, with my mortality And I can feel the storm clouds s**ing up my soul
