Feel The Tide

great song from a great band : capo 2 G C G C G C D G G C she sits him down in a stiff chair G C rubs his back and strokes his hair G C telling him it’s okay to cry D G but he just sits and stares ( G C stroke each once between verses . ) the merciless moon outside has nothing now he’s come to realise only the desolation he feels the cold distance inside G but you and i now C we can be alright D just hold on to what we know is true G you and i now C though it’s cold inside D feel the tide turning ( . . . and so on and so forth ) while the priest just sits and weeps lamenting the fact that he can see darkness and light in so much detail he has given himself over refusing what he knows to be real he turns away from every meal starving himself of goodness he doesn’t think he can heal but you and i now we can be alright just hold on to what we know is true you and i now though it’s cold inside feel the tide turning "what if i lost all i had?" said the stranger to his dad and the witness was confused he can’t tell what is bad instead he runs up to the nearest girl and he comments on her glorious curls says , "darling come with me i’ll show you a whole new world" but you and i now we can be alright just hold on to what we know is true you and i now though it’s cold inside feel the tide turning
