Against The Tide - Colin Hay

The lines are broken between she and I

But the road is as straight as an arrow

We had walked in a beautiful forest

But after a while the trees grew thin

And offered little shade

Now more than ever our lives move of their own volition

I sleep walk in the night

I don’t wanna

I don’t wanna

I let the day decide

I’m searching for

I’m searching for

I swim against the tide

I only wanna

I only wanna

Get to the other side

You can always find me

Waiting for the right time

But I can’t wait till the end

You moved out of reach

Slipped out of my hands

I live in my dreams

I have of you still holding me

I’m drifting out to sea

Someone’s watching over me

So I won’t drown

Moving closer ever closer

Your love is like the rain

Saturating

The tide is coming in

Carrying me

And though the lines are down

I’m still holding

But I, I can no longer pretend

You moved out of reach

Slipped out of my hands

I live in my dreams

I have of you still holding me

Carrying me

Saturating
