Tidal Wave

The heart that never healed

The mountaineer at dawn

The drunk behind the wheel

Writer of the songs

The road traveller

40-year Peter Pan

The compensating clown

The serious man

When life is crashing like a tidal wave

Of all these parts of me, what should I save

Let them drown

Or pull them out

The continental drifter

The lonely hermit king

The center stage singer

The breaker of promise rings

Professor phone-it-in

Hungover blurry eyed

The cynical Romeo

The Zen blue-sky mind

When life is crashing like a tidal wave

Of all these parts of me, what should I save

Let them drown

Or pull them out

Every day another struggle

I don’t want to play the game

Should I hide beneath the covers

Or run away and change my name

But you won’t get out

No you won’t get out

Of this world without

Facing yourself

When life is crashing like a tidal wave

Of all these parts of me, which should I save

When life is crashing like a tidal wave

Of all these parts of me, which should I save

Let them drowned

Or pull them out

Let ‘em drown

Or pull them out
