Lyrics
I Can't Turn The Tide
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If my love is not enough to hold you down,
Then what more can I give to you?
If I could, I'd reach into your heart somehow,
And find a way to make you stay.
But I can't turn the tide when it's goin' out on me.
I can't keep you here if you wanna leave.
A sailor's at the mercy of the sea,
I can't turn the tide, when it's going out on me.
In my heart I only want the best for you,
And I hope you find what you're looking for.
Life goes on, there's nothin' else that I can do,
And if it's meant to be, you'll come back to me.
But I can't turn the tide when it's goin' out on me.
I can't keep you here if you wanna leave.
A sailor's at the mercy of the sea,
I can't turn the tide, when it's going out on me.
Ooooh sail away, sail away.
I can't turn the tide when it's goin' out on me.
I can't keep you here if you wanna leave.
I can't turn the tide when it's goin' out on me.
I can't turn the tide,
When it's goin' out on me.
Oooh ooh ooh.
