How the Tide Rushes In

How the tide rushes in

And covers footprints in the sand

As my hope's erased and carried

Out of my hand

How the tides ebb and flow

As driftwoods tossed upon the shore

And my heart's cast aside

And lost evermore

Yet though the ocean with waves unending

Covers the earth

Yet is there loss after all

For what e'er drifts from one place

Is with the tide to another brought

And there's naught lost beyond recall

Which cannot be found

If sought

Yet though the ocean with waves unending

Covers the earth

Yet is there loss after all

For what e'er drifts from one place

Is with the tide to another brought

And there's naught lost beyond recall

Which cannot be found

If sought
