The Tide Lyrics
There are demons in the water
There are devils in the sea
There are dangers in the current
When the tide goes out of meI could drink you under the table
I could drink you out of town
I could drink you off the planet
Drink myself into the groundAnd I have nothing for you tonight
I have nothing for you tonight
I have nothing for you tonight
I have nothing for youI was made to be a good girl
Carried buckets made of stone
Full of envy, full of sorrow
On a tightrope all aloneAnd all the time I was on fire
I burned with every stride
And now I see this anger
Is the horse I choose to rideNow you say you want something nice from me
Well, if you find it, take it, it's on me
In the meantime don't bother me
The tide has washed the nice from meAnd I have nothing for you tonight
I have nothing for you tonight
I have nothing for you tonight
I have nothing for youIn the nothing are the voices
And the pictures of my life
In the nothing of the sky
Is an ocean made of lightIn the nothing of my silence
Is a sad-eyed little girl
On a tightrope she is singing
As she passes through this worldI have nothing for you tonight
I have nothing for you tonight
I have nothing for you tonight
I have nothing for you
