Blancmange - Time Became The Tide

How time became the tide and turned again, again
And washed onto a thousand beaches
How time became the tide and touched and turned
You touched and turned me, inside out!

And a dryed out shell can never show
The horrors that you bring to me in, deathtrap so fun!

How time became the tide, each day you leave me standing still
and still, the dried out shell
And dragged into a careless life with nothing else to do
waves don't often mean their anger

I can only wait so long
I can only wait so long
I can only wait so long
so long, farewell

How time became the tide, calm, it creeps, it slides, in yards each day
So long, farewell
How time became the tide, and when you're calm you miss me
Angry, I stand to lose you
How time became the tide, at time I bare the pain
waves don't often mean their anger
