Tide of Tears

Safe in the arms that hold your every move They've been waiting here for you You've been weighing down the time. And in a place they're trying to forget And in a face they grow to regret They pull down They pull down the shades. Crawling Oh, they're crawling. Can you save them, now they're crawling? Will you catch them if they're falling? Do you hear them when they're calling? And the water down here Swells with the seeds of decay Through the years. And the sins of our fathers Swept our love for each other away In the tide In the tide In the tide of tears. Snakes in suits conduct their interviews Bodies floating down the avenue And it's our sickness, And it's our sickness to blame. Ain't no party blue or red Where innocence for naught is she'd And it's our choices And it's our voices to be heard Drowning Oh, they're drowning And the good Lord is frowning, And the dark clouds are surrounding, We must decide. And the water down here Swells with the seeds of decay Through the years. And the sins of our fathers Swept our love for each other away In the tide In the tide In the tide of tears, now Tide of tears, now In the tide In the tide Oh yeah. While in this life there's hope for change And as a culture now got to rearrange, Ain't no blind eye left to turn. Lying Oh, they're lying And the children keep dying And the mothers are crying Don't you know we should be trying. And the water down here Swells with the seeds of decay Through the years. And the sins of our fathers Swept our love, our love away. In the tide In the tide In the tide In the tide of tears.
