Riptide Lyrics - Bill Scorzari

She said, you know how it feels 

when some things make you cry, 

and how it comforts and heals 

when some things make you smile, 

and how there's no fightin' the pull 

when you're caught in a riptide? 

Yeah, it'll turn you around. 

It'll just wear you down. 

It'll drowned you, if you try. 

And then she swam right out 

into the danger and she said, 

Do you dare go where no one can 

reach you, to find safety there? 

Don't blame yourself for what people 

will do to you, dear. 

But, you'd better be sure 

of what you're against and you're for, 

if you're comin' out here. 

And, I don't want to know 

what comes after you've gone. 

That thought haunts me like a ghost ship 

that's empty and sails on 

adrift, chasin' the moonlight, 

as the waves rise and yawn. 

Though that rhythm now beckons 

to pull me along, 

I don't want to know 

what comes after you're gone. 

So, now I'm searchin' for rescue, 

and I'm searchin' for light. 

Yeah, these waters, 

they'll test you to do what you might. 

And, if you're doin' your best 

I guess you're doin' alright, 

but if you're needin' a rest, 

just swim to the side, 

keep my love in your chest, 

it's your treasure for life.
