Toyah - Turning Tide lyrics

rate me

Geballe/Willcox)<br />

Keeper of the high seas<br />

Now we turn to you for harmony<br />

Forgive us Leviathan<br />

We're laughing in the hurricane<br />

If it's any consolation<br />

We've poisoned our soil<br />

And felled our trees<br />

The universe is closing in<br />

Let me<br />

Let me<br />

Let me swim<br />

The waves come<br />

Roll over my feet<br />

I descend the shore and the waves drink me<br />

I cast adrift this demon seed<br />

Swimming on a turning tide<br />

Sitting in a whirlpool<br />

Telephone minds on a party line<br />

Electric humming veins<br />

Buzzing in the singing wires<br />

Glistening splintered<br />

And sharp<br />

Gloriously augmented<br />

The waves come<br />

Roll over my feet<br />

I descend the shore and the waves drink me<br />

I cast adrift this demon seed<br />

Swimming on a turning tide<br />

Burning with the stars<br />

Shining with the sun<br />

Glowing with the moon<br />

Over my foot prints<br />

Roll and brake<br />

The leaving waves of yesterday<br />

Out on the great swell<br />

All is well<br />

I descend the shore and the waves drink me<br />

Cast adrift this demon seed<br />

I have found myself<br />

Swimming on the turning tide<br />

Swimming on the turning tide<br />

I open my eyes<br />

I pour away<br />

Liquid on a sea of space<br />

Laughing in the hurricane<br />

Swimming on the turning tide<br />

Cruising on a tidal wave<br />

I'm a speck on the surface of the great flow
