The Tide Lyrics - Lucy Kaplansky

There are demons in the water 

There are devils in the sea 

There are dangers in the current 

When the tide goes out of me 

I could drink you under the table 

I could drink you out of town 

I could drink you off the planet 

Drink myself into the ground 

And I have nothing for you tonight 

I have nothing for you tonight 

I have nothing for you tonight 

I have nothing for you 

I was made to be a good girl 

Carried buckets made of stone 

Full of envy, full of sorrow 

On a tightrope all alone 

And all the time I was on fire 

I burned with every stride 

And now I see this anger 

Is the horse I choose to ride 

Now 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 me 

And I have nothing for you tonight 

I have nothing for you tonight 

I have nothing for you tonight 

I have nothing for you 

In the nothing are the voices 

And the pictures of my life 

In the nothing of the sky 

Is an ocean made of light 

In the nothing of my silence 

Is a sad-eyed little girl 

On a tightrope she is singing 

As she passes through this world 

I have nothing for you tonight 

I have nothing for you tonight 

I have nothing for you tonight 

I have nothing for you
