I've been thinking about our fortune

And I've decided that we're really not to blame

For the love that's deep inside us now

Is still the same.

And the sound we make together

Is the music to the story in your eyes

It's been shining down upon me now

I realise.



Listen to the tide slowly turning,

Wash all our heartaches away.

We're part of the fire that is burning

And from the ashes we can build for another day



But I'm frightened for your children

And the life that we are living is in vain

And the sunshine we've been waiting for

Will turn to rain.



When the final line is over

And it's certain that the curtain's gonna fall

I can hide inside your sweet innocent love

For evermore



Listen to the tide slowly turning,

Wash all our heartaches away.

We're part of the fire that is burning

And from the ashes we can build for another day



But I'm frightened for your children

And the life that we are living is in vain

And the sunshine we've been waiting for

Will turn to rain.
