FIGHT THE TIDE
Started with a smile
Hopin’ dreamin’
Thought I saw you for a while
By the door
When you walked right in
Across the crowded floor
Winter turned into a summer breeze
A hint of what could happen to me?
Life became alive
Hopin’ dreamin’
You looked straight into my eyes
When you asked dead calm
Who I was hiding from?
I was stunned beyond belief
I was so lonely then, in some kind of grief
You broke your way into my heart
Your honesty, spoke to me
Sunday school and church on time
Backyard filled with neighbors and wine
Kids on the screen from days gone by
Soccer mom dance through the nights of July
When you feel it might be over
Slipping through your hands [now]
You just look behind your shoulder
Turning back the time
You know love is like a rover
Moving like a wave
Love remains, inside your veins, you can’t fight the tide
You can’t fight the tide
We were all so young
Hopin’ dreamin’
Never thought the day would come
When life stood still, against our will
Frozen in time
Work all day from nine to five
Long for the weekends, to keep things alive
Listen to the voices deep inside
Even a lonely heart, has got something to hide
When you feel it might be over
Slipping through your hands now
You just look behind your shoulder
Turning back the time
You know love is like a rover
Moving like a wave
[Even though] love remains, inside your vein, you can’t fight the tide
No you can’t fight the tide
