Turning Tide - Toyah

Keeper of the high seas

Now we turn to you for harmony

Forgive us Leviathan

We’re laughing in the hurricane

If it’s any consolation

We’ve poisoned our soil

And felled our trees

The universe is closing in

Let me

Let me

Let me swim

The waves come

Roll over my feet

I descend the shore and the waves drink me

I cast adrift this demon seed

Swimming on a turning tide

Sitting in a whirlpool

Telephone minds on a party line

Electric humming veins

Buzzing in the singing wires

Glistening splintered

And sharp

Gloriously augmented

The waves come

Roll over my feet

I descend the shore and the waves drink me

I cast adrift this demon seed

Swimming on a turning tide

Burning with the stars

Shining with the sun

Glowing with the moon

Over my foot prints

Roll and brake

The leaving waves of yesterday

Out on the great swell

All is well

I descend the shore and the waves drink me

Cast adrift this demon seed

I have found myself

Swimming on the turning tide

Swimming on the turning tide

I open my eyes

I pour away

Liquid on a sea of space

Laughing in the hurricane

Swimming on the turning tide

Cruising on a tidal wave

I’m a speck on the surface of the great flow
