I recall when you cut me loose

And let me go.


Set adrift on an ocean;


I couldn't see the shore.

But keep your eyes on the horizon


'Cause you might see me again;


'Cause the tide always comes back in.




V2 Well you pushed me out the door;


You left me in the street.

Not too smooth; not too kind;


Not too discreet.


But you know that I can always find

My way back here again;


Like the tide always comes back in.




Cho Out of sight out of mind,


That's what they always say.


There were times when I hurt so bad

I nearly lost my way.


But I'm comin' round and I'm comin' back;


You'll be seeing me again;

'Cause the tide always comes back in.





Br I've been ignored and pushed around;

Taken all that you can give.


I've been evicted from my own life,


Just like I never lived.




V3 When you nailed me to a tree


You posted your own sins.

When you thought you took my life,


Well, that's when life began.


And I'm comin' back like I said I would

And no one knows just when;


But the tide always comes back in.




Cho Out of sight out of mind,


That's what they always say.

When you laid me in the ground


I guess you thought I'd stay.

But keep your eyes on the horizon

You'll be seeing me again;


'Cause the tide always comes back in.
