Sitting on the shore all day

But you can't hold on to water

Bringing on the flood, the flood

Stayed the night out by the beach house, it's all so quiet

Lit a candle by the window so you might find it

Hope you know you'll always have a place to call your home

Still, I can't help but think I could have saved you from drowning

I can put my hands down in it, yeah

But I won't bring nothing up

Sitting on the shore all day

Just waiting on the tide to come
