High tide, summer in the city The kids are looking pretty But isn't it a pity That the sunshine is followed by thunder And thoughts of going under And is it any wonder When the sea calling out to me I seem to spend my whole life running From people who would be The death of you and me 'Cause I can feel the storm clouds Sucking up my soul High tide, life is getting faster No one has the answer I try to face the day now in a new way The bottom of the bottom 'Cause every man's a puzzle Let's run away together you and me Forever we'd be free Free to spend our whole lives running From people who would be The death of you and me 'Cause I can feel the storm clouds Sucking up my soul Let's run away to sea Forever we'd be free Free to spend our whole lives running From people who would be The death of you and me 'Cause I can feel the storm clouds coming I'm watching my TV Or is it watching me? I see another new day dawning It's rising over me, with my mortality And I can feel the storm clouds Sucking up my soul
