I cry up to the man in the moon He's the only one can help me now I bought the line that as long as I tried I could not leave empty handed But I've done all I can do and now I leave it up to you I'm waiting for the tide to turn Waiting for the tide to turn Waiting, waiting for the tide to take me To take me away Goodnight moon I should be talkin' to Neptune He's the one who will teach me patience For whoever rules the sea is now the ruler over me I'm waiting for the tide to turn Waiting for the tide to turn Waiting, waiting for the tide to take me So I have proved some things can't be moved And here I wait but my faith is weak, and the water's creeping up to my chin I am waiting for the tide to turn Waiting for the tide to turn Waiting, waiting for the tide to take me
