Spill Canvas - The Tide lyrics

rate me

And there's three, count 'em three

Children playing on the beach

They were eager to learn,

To be taught and to teach

There's Veronica

She's biting her lip

As she watches the waves turn white at the tip

And there's Vada

Radiating with joy

And luckily she still can't stand the sight of a boy

And lastly there's Dade

His hair dances in the wind

And he's wondering what love is

And why it has to end

And he can't understand

How everyone goes on breathing when true love ends

His mother whispers quietly...

Heaven's not a place that you go when you die

It's that moment in life when you actually feel alive

So live for the moment

And take this advice, live by every word

Love is just a hoax so forget anything that you have heard

And live for the moment now

And there's three, count 'em three

Children growing on the beach

They were eager to learn,

To be taught and to teach

There's Veronica

She's licking her lips

As she waits for her real, first passionate kiss

And there's Vada

She can't admit her jealousy

Of her sister Veronica, and how she's so pretty (and how she's so pretty)

And lastly there's Dade

Still sitting on the dock

Ponders his life, and he skips his rocks

And he wonders when his father will return

But he's not coming back

And he can't understand

How everyone goes on breathing when true love ends

His mother whispers quietly...

Heaven's not a place that you go when you die

It's that moment in life when you actually feel alive

So live for the moment

And take this advice, live by every word

Love is just a hoax so forget everything that you have heard

(Forget everything)

And there's three, count 'em three

Children missing from the beach

They were eager to learn,

To be taught and to teach

But the sad thing

Is that they never lived passed the age of fifteen

Due to neglect from their mother

Who was bed ridden by her ex-lover, their father

And she didn't even notice, or pay much attention

As the tide came in and swept her three into the ocean

Now all her advice, it seems useless

No, heaven's not a place that you go when you die

It's that moment in life when you touch her and you feel alive

So live for the moment

And take this advice, live by every word

Love's completely real, so forget anything that you have heard

And live for the moment now
