The Tide Will Rise Lyrics

(by B.R. Hornsby and John 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 it's a dying breed

  They say it's going to disappear

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

  

  The tide will rise

  And the tide will fall

  We'll be out on the water

  Before the break of dawn

  The tide will rise

  And the tide will fall

  Oh, we'll 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 that the seed is sown again

  Red sky in the evening

  Better times are coming they say

  Well, why do I feel it's all coming to an end

  

  The tide will rise

  And the tide will fall

  We'll be out on the water

  Before the break of dawn

  The tide will rise

  And the tide will fall

  Oh, we'll 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

  It's hard to bring it on back

  Never bowed to no one

  Always went my own way

  Broke down, run aground, but I won't run away

  And the tide will rise

  

  The tide will rise

  And the tide will fall

  We'll be out on the water

  Before the break of dawn

  The tide will rise

  And the tide will fall

  Oh, we'll be working on the water

  When the long, long day is gone
