Lyric

In and out, the water knows

How to come and how to go

I lay my head where the sand is cool

Learning from the oldest rule

Nothing holds and nothing stays

And that's the mercy of the days

New every morning, so they say

The tide takes yesterday away

Tide, tide, carry it out

All the worry, all the doubt

Bring me back the empty shore

I don't need to hold it anymore

The moon does all the heavy work

Pulling oceans, gentle, sure

And I don't have to understand

To let it lift out of my hand

Tide, tide, carry it out

All the worry, all the doubt

Bring me back the empty shore

I don't need to hold it anymore

Whatever's gone will come again

Or something better will begin

Tide, tide, carry it out

All the worry, all the doubt

Bring me back the empty shore

I don't need to hold it anymore

In and out, the water knows

How to come and how to go
