I've been waitin' on the fault line

Let the needle take me on


I'll be standing with my dyin' bell


If you care to come along

Racin' with the risin' tide to my father's door


Racin' with the risin' tide to my father's door




I've been lyin' in the bright lights


See my shadow from below


Never wanted from another man

Never wanted from my own


Drownin' in the risin' tide in my father's door


Drownin' in the risin' tide in my father's door




Through a window to the last mile


Little picture on the wall

From the banks on the far side


See the lights come ashore


Racin' from the risin' tide to my father's door

Racin' from the risin' tide to my father's door


Racin' with the risin' tide to my father's door
