Forever on the Tide

Lyrics

“Forever on the Tide” Verse 1 Oh, listen close, ye sailors bold, I’ve a tale of love’s deep tide, Of a maiden fair with golden hair who was meant to be my bride. She stands with him on shores today, where I should rightly be, But fate’s cruel hand did steal my chance, and cast her love from me. Chorus So raise a glass to the love I lost, adrift in waters wide, For my heart belongs to her alone, forever on the tide. Though the waves may call, and the sea may part, I’ll hold her close within my heart. Verse 2 We met upon a summer’s eve, with stars in ocean’s glass, She laughed like bells upon the breeze, as soft as summer’s grass. We dreamed of lands and distant shores, a future bright and clear, But storms can change the sailor’s fate, and leave him lost in fear. Chorus So raise a glass to the love I lost, adrift in waters wide, For my heart belongs to her alone, forever on the tide. Though the waves may call, and the sea may part, I’ll hold her close within my heart. Verse 3 Now here she stands beside another, her vows upon the wind, While I, a shadow in the crowd, can only just pretend. When the priest says, “Speak now, or let her go,” my heart begins to ache, For she’s the love I’ll carry still, even as it breaks. Bridge Oh, sailor’s heart, be strong tonight, as I watch her drift away, Let my love be like the ocean’s pull, steady come what may. For though she sails another’s seas, her spirit’s bound to mine, And like the tide that turns for shore, our love won’t lose its line. Final Chorus So raise a glass to the love I lost, forever by my side, For my soul will sail with hers alone, forever on the tide. Though the storm may rage, and the waves may swell, I’ll keep her love as my anchor bell. Outro So fill your cups, my sailor friends, to love both wild and true, For I’ll walk these shores till the end of days, in search of skies so blue. And though she’s gone, her memory stays, like the moon’s pull on the sea, Forever bound, my love and I, across eternity.
