Tide (original)

Hello, folks. This is an outtake from the album. Have yet to determine if this one will make the cut, but thought I might share. It's a sad little ditty about aging friendships, and the verses sort of roll like water without really conforming to a particular time. It's called Tide. Enjoy.

LYRICS:
The milk we drank together on the beach ran dry
as we asked for a second round,
but the bar was closing down,
and we said
We'd better head for higher ground before the tide comes rolling in
to carry us awayward in a sentence that neither of us can understand.
We stood on the beach and shook hands as we said
Is this goodbye?
It could be.

Don't count me out for the good times.
For the good times make for the best goodbyes.

So we both walked our separate ways,
leaving footprints in the sand leading back to a place we would
never stand again,
never feel the grains of sand beneath our feet sloping
to the bottom of the hourglass.
The timekeeper of our lives remembers the beach as I do,
How I once stood there with you and I thought
it goes on for miles with sun in all directions.
Is there no end?
We knew there was.

Don't count me out.

It's funny. I've been watching your vids for close to 2 years now, and I think they're all incredible. I listened to this song once a few weeks ago, and only sort of liked it. Now I listen to it again, and think it's incredible. Keep up the good work, man.
