[Intro]
1, 2, 3, 4

[Verse 1]
High tide, summer in the city
The kids are looking pretty
But isn't it a pity
That the sunshine is followed by a thunder
And thoughts of going under
And is it any wonder

[Chorus 1]
Why the sea's calling out to me
I seem to spend my whole life running
From people who would be
The death of you and me
'Cause I can feel the storm clouds
Sucking up my soul

[Verse 2]
High tide, life is getting faster
No one has the answer
I try to face the day now in a new way
The bottom of a bottle
'Cause every man's a puzzle
[Chorus 2]
Let's run away together you and me
Forever we'd be free
Free to spend our whole lives running
From people who would be
The death of you and me
'Cause I can feel the storm clouds
Sucking up my soul

[Chorus 3]
Let's run away to sea
Forever we'd be free
Free to spend our whole lives running
From people who would be
The death of you and me
'Cause I can feel the storm clouds coming

[Outro]
I'm watching my tv
Or is it watching me?
I see another new day dawning
It's rising over me, with my mortality
And I can feel the storm clouds
Sucking up my soul
