The Tide Low

With the tide low
Everybody knows about the hero
They're always being told about the high road
He took to get to here

And the lies roll
Off his toungue like the bottle
Down our throats are you bothered
By the news you hear

I'm gon' drink just enough to keep the deamons at bay
I'd like to think that at the brink
I can drive 'em away
But I can't

I don't mind much
Maybe its my nature or I'm blind to touch
Talking all the while as she's finding loves
Just to leave them there in the dust

It's the wind that
Blows it all around, there's a storm cloud
That makes me start thinking about her and I
The laughter and the lust

I'm gon' drink just enough to keep the deamons at bay
I'd like to think that at the brink
I can drive 'em away
But I can't

Say goodbye for me
make her feel as though I really tried to be
A light to help guide her from the night to see
The sun as it comes back up

See the tide rise
Shadows fall to nothing and the poor, wise
Hero says something but a child cries
And nobody hears a word

I'm gon' drink just enough to keep the deamons at bay
I'd like to think that at the brink
I can drive 'em away
But I can't
