Feel the Tide

She sits him down in a stiff chair Rubs his back and strokes his hair Telling him it's okay to cry but he just sits and stares The merciless moon outside, has nothing now he's come to realize Only the desolation he feels, the cold distance inside [Chorus] But you and I now, we can be alright Just hold on to what we know is true You and I now, though it's cold inside Can feel the tide turning While the priest just sits and weeps Lamenting the fact that he can see Darkness and light in so much detail he has given himself over Refusing what he knows to be real Turns away from every meal Starving himself of goodness He don't think he can heal [Chorus] But you and I now, we can be alright Just hold on to what we know is true You and I now, though it's cold inside Can feel the tide turning "What if I've lost all I had?" Says the stranger to his dad And the witness is confused He can't tell what is bad Instead he runs up to the nearest girl And he comments on her glorious curls Says, "darling, come with me" I'll show you a whole new world [Chorus] But you and I now, we can be alright Just hold on to what we know is true You and I now, though it's cold inside Can feel the tide turning But you and I now, we can be alright Just hold on to what we know is true You and I now, though it's cold inside Can feel the tide turning
