Willy Mason - Riptide lyrics

rate me

i need a new song, shift it all around, like the ocean

when the riptide gets you down

take some, from the ones you love, in the old town

when the riptide gets you down

sing i can still breathe i can still walk

i can still see neilgen walking up the dock

i remember when i carved my name into this cedar tree

sing while i'm walking sabbys on the rocks

with a new reel flashing casting as he talks

he came home from the city

when they choked out all of his dreams

and i guess you could say that this is me

and i guess that these folks are the only ones i believe

everywhere i go i'm going to the ocean

every river flows into the ocean

the water in my soul is going to the ocean

i sing the great unknown i'm singing to the ocean

sing i can still breathe i can still walk

i can still see neilgen walking up the dock

i remember when i carved my name into this cedar tree

sing while i'm walking sabbys on the rocks

with a new reel flashing casting as he talks

he came home from the city

when they choked out all of his dreams

i need a new song, shift it all around, like the ocean

when the riptide gets you down

take some, from the ones you love, in the old town

when the riptide gets you down
