I've been thinking about our fortune
And I've decided that we're really not to blame
For the love that's deep inside us now
Is still the same.
And the sound we make together
Is the music to the story in your eyes
It's been shining down upon me now
I realise.
Listen to the tide slowly turning,
Wash all our heartaches away.
We're part of the fire that is burning
And from the ashes we can build for another day
But I'm frightened for your children
And the life that we are living is in vain
And the sunshine we've been waiting for
Will turn to rain.
When the final line is over
And it's certain that the curtain's gonna fall
I can hide inside your sweet innocent love
For evermore
Listen to the tide slowly turning,
Wash all our heartaches away.
We're part of the fire that is burning
And from the ashes we can build for another day
But I'm frightened for your children
And the life that we are living is in vain
And the sunshine we've been waiting for
Will turn to rain.
