A Better Tide

Tides may leave you stranded or bring you gently to your shore

Provide you with safe passage,

To find your happy evermore.

Filter through the sunset, across the shivering sound

Through the swells of love and life,

To that love which can be found.

Why our stars collided, near the banks of the Clyde

Destined in my eyes,

To life in a better tide.

Though my tide will ebb before yours, of that, I am fairly clear

I’ll leave a light in our sunset,

For you to shine, my dear.

The light, though not an eye, is a memory of our time

When you set me free,

Nourishing this mind.

The time we have together, are of the best for me

Seems only yesterday,

A tide brought destiny.

When we have no more tomorrows and there are no more todays,

Filter through the sunset,

To see our yesterdays.
