High Tides - From Our Perspective

In a place you only dream of Where your soul is always free Silver stages, golden curtains Filled my head, plain as can be As a rainbow grew around the sun All the stars above who died came from Somewhere beyond the scene you see These lovely people played just for me Now if I let you see this place Where stories all ring true Will you let me past your face To see what's really you It's not for me I ask this question As though I were a king For you have to love, believe, and feel Before the burst of tambourines take you there Green grass and high tides forever Castles of stone, souls and glory Lost faces say we adore you As kings and queens bow and play for you Those who don't believe me Find your souls and set them free Those who do, believe and know This time will be your key Time and time again I've thanked them For a peace of mind That helped me find myself Amongst the music and the rhyme That enchants you there Green grass and high tides forever Castles of stone, souls and glory Lost faces say we adore you As kings and queens bow and play for you Yeah, they play just for you

I just lost the feeling that I had today Do all these good times come and go away? Tell me something that I can say Sometimes I just want to walk away And I begin to understand Ships can sink or rise But I'm standing here tonight And I'm knocking on your door I'll be anything you like If you can tell me what I'm here for Do we go on, and on, and on, and on? Do we go on, and on, and on, and on? I just asked some questions that I've never had Does who we are fade out like a photograph? 'Cause if I could, I'd do it all again The good times, bad times, sink or swim And, yes, I finally realized Ships can sink or rise But I'm standing here tonight And I'm knocking on your door I'll be anything you like If you can tell me what I'm here for Do we go on, and on, and on, and on? Do we go on, and on, and on, and on? (Oh-oh) (Oh-oh) But I'm standing here tonight And I'm knocking on your door I'll be anything you like If you can tell me what I'm here for Do we go on, and on, and on, and on? (Oh-oh) Do we go on, and on, and on, and on? (Oh-oh) I just lost the feeling that I had today Do all these good times come and go away?

Every sailor's son Is taught when they are young That the pull of the moon lingers on Something we can't escape From Bimini 'round the cape Mix in the wind and the sea and sing along. To whom it may concern I've always tried to learn That the good days need to last Season with a lot of laughter Here and in the ever after With poetry and painters from my past So I follow the tides On currents far and wide Chalking up the stories and the miles Yes, I follow the tides Big blue rides And that's the reason I will never lose my smile Hoping to catch a ray Looking to misbehave As my lucky stars still shine above the sea Watching the ships roll in I play that Otis song again For the tourists and some mermaids by the sea And I follow the tides Down my song lines far and wide The world to me should still be free and wild Yes, I follow the tides Give me more, big blue rides And that's the reason I will never lose my smile Every sailor's son Is taught when they are young That the pull of the moon lingers on Something we can't escape Is it salt water or just fate? Mix in the wind and the sea and sing along? And we'll follow the tides Down our song lines far and wide It seems to me my life's still free and wild Yes, we'll follow the tides Give us more big blue rides And that's the reason I will never lose my smile And that's the reason you should never lose your smile
