"Tides" lyrics - TYGERS OF PAN TANG

The shallow waters lopped upon the rocks
The shadows moved as the moon shone down
I saw your features as plain as the day
I heard your voice in sound of the waves

The mighty tides breathe in and out again
I heard the surf crashing closer
And in that moment you were there by my side
As if the years had never flown past

[Chorus:]
That was a long time ago
I don't want to dwell in the past
That was a long time ago
Now I must escape from your ghost

The minutes pass, the illusion still holds
My fingers running down my spine
And in the east I see the first of dawn
And with the light I feel you slip away

[Chorus]
