staring past the horizon
captive in the bay
a voice calling inside
turning tides
O madly the sea pushes upon the land
crashing down, down rushing over me
O surely you can understand
I can’t stand on the shore
watching waves pound rocks into sand
crashing down, down rushing over me
no, time changes every man’s plans
turning tides, turning tides
a voice calling inside
may the gentle breath of midnight unfurl
let me set sail by the last star of truth
far beyond what miles can measure
love will remain between me and you
O madly the sea pushes upon the land
crashing down, down rushing over me
O surely you can understand
I can’t stand on the shore
watching waves pound rocks into sand
crashing down, down rushing over me
no, time changes every man’s plans
turning tides, turning tides
a voice calling inside
mark the course by ancient celestial signs
follow the beacons of night home to you
far beyond what miles can measure
love will remain between me and you
O madly the sea pushes upon the land
crashing down, down rushing over me
O surely you can understand
I can’t stand on the shore
watching waves pound rocks into sand
crashing down, down rushing over me
no, time changes every man’s plans
turning tides, turning tides
a voice calling inside
when Medusa casts skies above in black
and phantoms howl in the tempest fury
even then, love will guide me home to you
turn into the wind
hold a course for unseen shores
a voice calling inside
turning tides
