Lyrics
The Rip 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.
And this is the house where I
I feel alone
Feel alone now
And this is the house where I
Could be unknown
Be alone now
Soon the waves and I
Found the rolling tide
Soon the waves and I
Found the rip tide
This is the house where I
I feel alone
Feel alone now
And this is the house where I
Could be unknown
Be alone now
Soon the waves and I
Found the rolling tide
Soon the waves and I
Found the rip tide
Soon the waves and I
Found the rolling tide
Soon the waves and I
Found the rip tide
