JIMMY BUFFETT - Tides lyrics

rate me

Every sailor’s song

Is taught when they are young

That the full of the moon lingers on

Something we can’t escape from Bimini round the Cape

Mixing 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 then ever after

With poetry and painters from our past

So I follow the tides

On currents falling wild

Chalking up the stories and the miles

Yes, I follow the tides

Big blue eyes

And that’s the reason I will never lose my smile

Hoping to catch a wave

Looking to misbehave

As my lucky star

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

World to me should still be free and wild

Yes I follow the tides

Give me more big blue eyes

And that’s the reason

I will never lose my smile

Every sailor’s song

Is taught when they are young

That the full of the moon lingers on

Something we can’t escape

Is it salt water or just fate?

Mixing the wind and the sea and sing along

And we'll follow the tides

Down a song line 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 eyes

And that’s the reason

I will never lose my smile

And that’s the reason

You should never lose your smile
