Turn The Tide - Kayak

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?
