The Tide

Lucy Kaplansky

Composed by: Lucy Kaplansky/Richard Litvin
There are demons in the water 
There are devils in the sea 
There are dangers in the current 
When the tide goes out of me 

I could drink you under the table 
I could drink you out of town 
I could drink you off the planet 
Drink myself into the ground 

Chorus 

And I have nothing for you tonight 
I have nothing for you tonight 
I have nothing for you tonight 
I have nothing for you 

I was made to be a good girl 
Carried buckets made of stone 
Full of envy, full of sorrow 
On a tightrope all alone 

And all the time I was on fire 
I burned with every stride 
And now I see this anger 
Is the horse I choose to ride 

Now you say you want something nice from me 
Well if you find it, take it, it's on me 
In the meantime don't bother me 
The tide has washed the nice from me 

Chorus 

In the nothing are the voices 
And the pictures of my life 
In the nothing of the sky 
Is an ocean made of light 

In the nothing of my silence 
Is a sad-eyed little girl 
On a tightrope she is singing 
As she passes through this world 

Chorus
