On the outgoing tide
I know that you're leaving today
And my tears will be a part of the sea
That's taking you darling, away from me!

But they can't take my dreams, they can't take the love in my heart
And although I know we're drifting apart
If heaven has meant you for me, for me
I know I will sail at your side, someday on the outgoing tide!
