She's laying in bed with a pillow to her head and the red tide rising It came out of nowhere this morning like a red tide And yesterday it hadn't started - big plans, big plans She's caught between the blue of the ocean and the red of the red tide And I would give anything to be with you again To have you on my side and face the red, red tide He's out in the bar and he's going too far with the red tide rising Her face is a shadow and her open mouth is like a red tide Tonight was gonna be so perfect - big plans, big plans There's no holds barred in the back of the car 'cos this is the red tide I would give anything to be with you again To have you on my side and face the red, red tide It's dark on the stair when there's nobody there but the red tide rising The cloth that they covered his body with was like a red tide And all the years they were together - big plans, big plans No farewells, no parting laughs, just the red tide And I would give anything to be with you again To have you on my side and face the red, red tide
