Listen to the waves 
Listen to the waves 
I can't sleep tonight 
So I'll let the full moon decide 
Where I'm going, where I'm going 
Just give me one little word 
To get me through the night 
Cos I don't know where we're going 

The tide is rising 
Rising high 
The tide is rising 
I've never been anywhere this quiet,
But surely it's just a matter of time 

Before the wave 
Comes and takes me 
I love you like the tide
Like the tide loves the shore 
Too late to break away 
So I'll sit here and listen 
To the sound of the soft crash
Coming back, coming back 
Soft crash 
Coming back 
Coming back 

Listen to the waves 
I can't sleep tonight 
So I'll let the full moon decide 
Where I'm going, where I'm going 
Just give me one little word 
To get me through the night 
Cos I don't know where we're going 

The tide is rising 
Rising high 
The tide is rising 
There's noone here with me 
But the wild moon watching 
The shining waters rise 

Before the wave
Comes and takes me 
I love you like the tide
Like the tide loves the shore 
Too late to break away 
So I'll sit here and listen 
To the sound of the soft crash
Coming back
