The Spill Canvas - The Tide Lyrics

The Spill Canvas – The Tide Lyrics 

And there’s three, count ’em three
Children playing on the beach
They were eager to learn,
To be taught and to teach

There’s Veronica
She’s biting her lip
As she watches the waves turn white at the tip
And there’s Vada
Radiating with joy
And luckily she still can’t stand the sight of a boy
And lastly there’s Dade
His hair dances in the wind
And he’s wondering what love is
And why it has to end

And he can’t understand
How everyone goes on breathing when true love ends
His mother whispers quietly…
Heaven’s not a place that you go when you die
It’s that moment in life when you actually feel alive
So live for the moment
And take this advice, live by every word
Love is just a hoax so forget anything that you have heard
And live for the moment now

And there’s three, count ’em three
Children growing on the beach
They were eager to learn,
To be taught and to teach

There’s Veronica
She’s licking her lips
As she waits for her real, first passionate kiss
And there’s Vada
Can’t admit her jealousy
Of her sister Veronica, and how she’s so pretty (and how she’s so pretty)
Lastly there’s Dade
Still sitting on the dock
Ponders his life, and he skips his rocks
And he wonders when his father will return
But he’s not coming back

And he can’t understand
How everyone goes on breathing when true love ends
His mother whispers quietly…
Heaven’s not a place that you go when you die
It’s that moment in life when you actually feel alive
So live for the moment
And take this advice, live by every word
Love is just a hoax so forget everything that you have heard (forget everything)

And there’s three, count ’em three
Children missing from the beach
They were eager to learn,
To be taught and to teach

But the sad thing
Is that they never lived passed the age of fifteen
Due to neglect from their mother
Who was bed ridden by her ex-lover, their father
She didn’t even notice, or pay much attention
As the tide came in and swept her three into the ocean
Now all her advice, it seems useless

No, heaven’s not a place that you go when you die
It’s that moment in life when you touch her and you feel alive
So live for the moment
And take this advice, live by every word
Love’s completely real, so forget anything that you’ve heard
And live for the moment now
