And The Tide
Rushes In
(Ray Thomas)
I've been searching for my dream a hundred times today,
I build them up, you knock them down,
Like they were made of clay.
Then the tide rushes in
And washes my castles away.
Then I'm really not so sure
Which side of the bed I should lay,
I should lay...
You keep looking for someone
To tell your troubles to,
I'll sit down and lend an ear
Yet I hear nothing new.
Then the tide rushes in
And washes my castles away.
Then I'm really not so sure
Which side of the bed I should lay,
I should lay...
Blackbird sitting in a tree
Observing what's below,
Acorns falling to the ground,
He'll stay and watch them grow.
Melancholy
Man
(Mike Pinder)
I'm a melancholy man
That's what I am,
All the world surrounds me,
And my feet are on the ground,
I'm a very lonely man,
Doing what I can,
All the world astounds me
And I think I understand
That we're going
To keep growing
Wait and see.
When all the stars are falling down
Into the sea and on the ground,
And angry voices carry on the wind,
A beam of light will fill your head
And you'll remember what's been said
By all the good men this world's ever known
Another man is what you'll see,
Who looks like you and looks like me,
And yet somehow he will not feel the same,
His life caught up in misery,
He doesn't think like you and me
'Coz he can't see what you and I can see.
When all the stars are falling down
Into the sea and on the ground,
And angry voices carry on the wind,
A beam of light will fill your head
And you'll remember what's been said
By all the good men this world's ever known
Another man is what you'll see,
Who looks like you and looks like me,
And yet somehow he will not feel the same,
His life caught up in misery,
He doesn't think like you and me (A melancholy man)
'Coz he can't see what you and I can see. (A very lonely man)
(Repeat both verses together)
Listen hear the sound
The child awakes
Wonder all around
The child awakes
Now in his life
He never must be lost
No thoughts must deceive him
In life he must trust
With the eyes of a child
You must come out and see
That your world's spinning round
And through life you will be
A small part of a hope of a love that exists
In the eyes of a child you will see
Earth falls far away
New life awaits
Time it has no day
New life awaits
Here is your dream
And now how does it feel
No words will go with you
And now what is real?
With the eyes of a child
You must come out and see
That your world's spinning round
And through life you will be
A small part of a hope of a love that exists
In the eyes of a child you will see
I'm gonna' sit and watch the web
That you will build this day
Will be a thread of love you weave
It's yours to show the way
Then everything will be as you will see
In the light
With the eyes of a child
You must come out and see
That your world's spinning round
And through life you will be
A small part of a hope of a love that exists
In the eyes of a child you will see
With the eyes of a child
You must come out and see
That your world's spinning round
And through life you will be
A small part of a hope of a love that exists ...
