I can feel the tide coming in,
It's tickling my toes,
It's grazing my knees,
Seduction, I know.
My judgement hazes,
I take a step in.
I can feel the tide coming in,
It's up to my waist,
It splashes my face,
I let it intoxicate me,
Though I know better.
I can feel the tide coming in,
It's in over my head,
I can no longer breathe,
Yet serenity consumes me,
My heart no longer clenches,
I am at peace.
I can feel the tide coming in,
I keep searching for faces,
All I can hear are voices,
Looking, watching, waiting for me.
I can't feel the tide coming in,
By the time you find me I'll be long gone,
Just a memory of what's long since past,
I am part of the ocean.
I can feel the tide coming in,
It pulls me ashore,
I open my eyes,
And see yours filled with concern.
How did you find me?
Everyone else did leave.
Why did you keep looking,
Didn't you feel the hope leave me?
I can't feel the tide coming in,
All I feel is your arms around me.
