inspired by johnny cash this is a meditation on mortality and loss. like many of the songs on this album there is an undercurrent of hope to temper the questions and fears.

lyrics

the tide

there's a dirty steel gray sky closing in
and i can't move for love and not for sin
if the ends are just the means may just begin
to take a fallow heart and grow again

no more lovers waiting by the phone
no more preacher dust upon the stone
all the things we wish away and hide
return amid the fullness of the tide

when the sky you fear comes crashing down
will the center hold before the fearful sound
did you take good care to keep the ground
or salt the earth and let it come unbound

no more lovers waiting by the phone
no more preacher dust upon the stone
all the things we wish away and hide
return amid the fullness of the tide

now, i don't have an answer in a song
we'll find our faith or not before too long
and on the wings of hope we'll carry on
deliverance or doom comes right or wrong

no more lovers waiting by the phone
no more preacher dust upon the stone
all the things we wish away and hide
return amid the fullness of the tide
