The waves pull up against the north
I kiss goodbye to all my warmth
When the sun sets daily on the shore
The tide comes in to clean it all
Though, each day I built it up
By morning, all in all it's dust
I watch it seep back to the shore
I almost can't take it anymore
~
When it washed you up I took you home
I polished you up real good
I kept you on the windowsill
I hear the waves crashing still
What's the point of holding onto things
That never belonged to me?
What's the point of holding onto
Memories and tear-stained dreams
I curse the thief in the night
That took much more than shallow pride
Alone, I wipe my weeping eyes
And what's left of a woman steps outside
But what's the point of walking to the water?
A shooting star, a fallen daughter
What's the point, why even bother
To fall on my knees underneath the stars
Plead with the ocean to bring you back
Wind in my ears, I can barely hear
Or plead with the Lord to change the facts
What's the point of holding onto things
That never belonged to me?
What's the point of holding onto
Memories and tear-stained dreams
~
It's the tide that gives it all
It's the tide that brought you home
It's the tide that gifts the shore
It's the tide that took it all
