Waiting for the Tide

Official song lyrics: ‘Waiting for the Tide’ by Abu Sayed. Original writing and composition.

Shadows falling across the wooden floor
I am pacing right beside the open door
Looking out into the faded midnight blue
Counting every second till I get to you
The evening breeze is whispering outside
A steady rhythm I could never hide
A dusty record spinning in the dark
Just a single ember waiting for a spark
The heavy water rises as the hours slip away
There are so many quiet things I want to say
Just reach your open hand across the great divide
I am holding my breath, waiting for the tide
Washing over every doubt I ever knew
Pulling me deeper, pulling me to you
Like a wild ocean crashing on the shore
I have never wanted anybody more
Let the water rise, let the waters glide
Here I am, waiting for the tide
A cup of coffee cooling in the night
We can make it right before the morning light
The open highway stretches out so far
I will find you anywhere under the stars
The heavy water rises as the hours slip away
There are so many quiet things I want to say
Just reach your open hand across the great divide
I am holding my breath, waiting for the tide
Washing over every doubt I ever knew
Pulling me deeper, pulling me to you
Like a wild ocean crashing on the shore
I have never wanted anybody more
Let the water rise, let the waters glide
Here I am, waiting for the tide
The quiet current pulls beneath the lonely moon
I know that morning is coming way too soon
No need to run from what we feel so deep inside
Just let the heavy water take us for a ride
Close your eyes, it is Sayed holding you near
To wash away the shadows and the fear
I can feel the water rushing in
So just let go, and let the waves begin
Washing over every doubt I ever knew
Pulling me deeper, pulling me to you
Like a wild ocean crashing on the shore
I have never wanted anybody more
