The Bitter Tide
by Dawn Sinclair and Tony Miller
I said some words a long, long time ago
They made her pack a bag - I watched her go
Maybe I was foolish to let my pride decide
I felt my anger rolling out on the bitter tide
Then I found another tender heart
She tried her level best right from the start
But in the end her patience wasn’t wide
Nothing she could do or say to stop the bitter tide
ch
We should be accountable on any given day
for all the broken promises and every word we say
and anytime you think that you can hide
There comes the bitter tide
rpt chorus
I know I’ll never be the settling kind
I’ll walk a lonely road, but I don’t mind
It’s better in the end to step aside
Each wave that rolls towards me now
brings another bitter tide
ch
We should be accountable on any given day
for all the broken promises and every word we say
and anytime you think that you can hide
There comes the bitter tide
