The Tide Will Rise Lyrics - Bruce Hornsby

Sometimes I get lucky most times I come up short 

Got to pull up the lines got to move around the bend 

They say its a dying breed and they say its going to disappear 

Nothing I can do, oh but pull up the load again 

The tide will rise and the tide will fall 

Well be out on the water before the break of dawn 

The tide will rise and the tide will fall 

Oh, well be working on the water 

When the long, long day is gone 

Full moon it was always best keep a little and you sell the rest 

Living on hope what the seed is sown again 

Red sky in the evening better times are coming up they say 

Well, why do I feel like its all coming to an end 

The tide will rise and the tide will fall 

Well be out on the water before the break of dawn 

The tide will rise and the tide will fall 

Oh, well be working on the water 

When the long, long day is gone 

When the seed is broken nothing left to grow on 

When you lose the seed its hard to bring it on back 

Never bowed to no one always went my own way 

Broke down, run around, but I wont run away 

And the tide will rise 

The tide will rise and the tide will fall 

Well be out on the water before the break of dawn 

The tide will rise and the tide will fall 

Oh, well be working on the water 

When the long, long day is gone 

The tide will rise, the tide will rise
