Lyrics

On the outgoing tide
I know that you’re leaving today
And my tears will be a part of the sea
That’s taking you, darling, away from me
But they can’t take my dreams
They can’t take the love in my heart
And although I know we’re drifting apart
If Heaven has meant you for me, for me
I know I will sail at your side
Some day on the outgoing tide
