Kayak - Turn the Tide lyrics

A perfect life, a timeless machine A wordless sound but what does it mean? A silly phrase in a song You know the job is easily done Oh but what can you hide When there's nothing inside If all you do is count and expect Then real life must be hard to accept You're trying hard not to show You gave in and you think we don't know We've got eyes we can see This is no way to be If ever I had to be the man Who won a war by losing his friends I'd rather lose all I had Then take everything I could get And being left alone No one to carry me home Down, going down You think that it's day but it's night Look at you now Your face is a terrible sight In a state like this it's time to turn the tide Won't you let me get you through and turn the tide?
