lyrics

The Weather and the Tide

She’s over on the other side
I’m waiting for the rising tide
I’m thinking that it won’t be long
Before I can set sail

My boat is moored up in the port
Ready for me to climb on board
To swing her round into the wind
And turn her bows to the distant shore

And I know she’ll be there for me
Looking out over the sea
Her hand raised to shield her eyes
To watch the Terns and Fulmers fly

And I’ll be sailing through the spray
I know it has to be this way
For just like the sea birds as they fly
We’re ruled by the weather and the tide

We pull my boat up out of reach
Of the tide racing up the beach
We sit and watch the otters play
And make love to the sea

There’s that heart stopping moment when
We join together and jump in
We take the sea unto ourselves
And gasp in ecstasy

We throw our hearts up to the wind
And grab this moment whilst we can
I watch for the ebbing tide and know
That soon it’ll be time for me to go

We understand this has to be
We’re separated by land and sea
Destined to live out our lives
Ruled by the weather and the tide.

The Moonbeams Long Preston, UK

The Moonbeams sing their ‘Songs from the Dales’ telling tales of life and loving, and of laughing and enjoying life. Their contemporary folk based music skilfully evokes the beauty of their homeland, carrying you on a lyrical journey through the fells and dales of Yorkshire. Songs of rain, sun, and fells capture that elusive feeling of what it means to escape from the humdrum of everyday life. ... more
