TIDES OF GOODBYE

Moon on the water, silver and slow,
I hear your footsteps where the warm winds blow.
Palm trees are dancing, calling my name,
But every sweet rhythm remembers your flame.

I put on my red dress, I step into the night,
Drums in the distance, stars burning bright.
I told my heart, “Girl, let that old love go,”
But the tide keeps whispering, “No, no, no.”


Oh, I can laugh, I can dance,
I can give love another chance,
But when the ocean starts to sway,
I hear you calling from far away.


Hey, hey, hey — don’t you pull me back,
I’m a wild little wave on a runaway track.
Hey, hey, hey — let the old love die,
I’ll be kissing the moon by the morning sky.
Shake my hips, let the congas play,
I’m gonna dance those memories away.
But if your love comes riding on the tide,
I might let it in…
I might let it slide.


Coconut sweetness, rum on my lips,
Your name is hiding in every little sip.
The fishermen sing as they sail to the shore,
And I swear I don't need you anymore.

Then somebody plays that old guitar tune,
And suddenly I'm dancing with you.
Your hands on my waist, your eyes on mine,
Some loves disappear but never resign.


Oh, I can laugh, I can dance,
I can give love another chance,
But when the ocean starts to sway,
I hear you calling from far away.


Hey, hey, hey — don’t you pull me back,
I’m a wild little wave on a runaway track.
Hey, hey, hey — let the old love die,
I’ll be kissing the moon by the morning sky.
Shake my hips, let the congas play,
I’m gonna dance those memories away.
But if your love comes riding on the tide,
I might let it in…
I might let it slide.


Maybe tomorrow I'll sail away,
Maybe I'll stay till the break of day.
Maybe your shadow will fade with the sun,
Maybe some loves are never quite done.

So pour me another, turn up the sound,
Let the whole island spin me around.
If I fall for you underneath these stars,
I'll blame the moon…
And the rhythm in my heart.


Hey, hey, hey — now I'm coming back,
Like a little blue wave on a golden track.
Hey, hey, hey — I don't wanna hide,
There's a fire still burning on the other side.
Shake my hips, let the congas play,
Tonight I'm dancing the whole night away.
And if your love comes riding on the tide,
I won't fight it anymore…
I'll let it inside.


Hey, hey, hey…
Let the island sing.
Hey, hey, hey…
Feel the night wind swing.
If tomorrow takes you far from me,
I'll keep your rhythm…
Dancing in the sea.
