Del Amitri - As Soon As the Tide Comes In lyrics
[Del Amitri - As Soon As the Tide Comes In lyrics]
You'd better get some sleep for a change
Before tomorrow brings you down
By three o'clock they'll both be
Sitting on that plane
Hopelessly honeymoon bound
And I hope no one asks you to kiss this bride
Or tie tin cans to the car
And the friends and relations mingle outside
You can linger at the bar
So bring on the rainclouds and
Block out the moon let the action begin
'Cause it's as sure as sunrise
And as sure as time
The bride will be changing and
You will be crying
And it will be raining as soon
As the tide comes in
You'll feel like some soap opera star
Predictably hitting the booze
With your standard issue broken heart
You step into your Saturday shoes
And you might feel better if
You slapped her face
Or slipped some pills in his wine
But instead some voice in
Your head keeps saying
You'll look back and laugh sometime
So bring on the rainclouds and
Block out the moon let the action begin
'Cause it's as sure as sunrise
And as sure as time
The bride will be changing and
You will be crying
And it will be raining as soon
As the tide comes in
Yeah, it will be raining as soon
As the tide comes in
So put on your lipstick and check
That your hat's straight too
'Cause if they can go through with
This you can do it too
So bring on the rainclouds and
Block out the moon let the action begin
'Cause it's as sure as sunrise
And as sure as time
The bride will be changing and
You will be crying
And it will be raining as soon
As the tide comes in
It will be raining as soon
As the tide comes in
Yeah, it will be raining as soon
As the tide comes in
It will be raining as soon
As the tide comes in tonight
Before tomorrow brings you down
By three o'clock they'll both be
Sitting on that plane
Hopelessly honeymoon bound
And I hope no one asks you to kiss this bride
Or tie tin cans to the car
And the friends and relations mingle outside
You can linger at the bar
So bring on the rainclouds and
Block out the moon let the action begin
'Cause it's as sure as sunrise
And as sure as time
The bride will be changing and
You will be crying
And it will be raining as soon
As the tide comes in
You'll feel like some soap opera star
Predictably hitting the booze
With your standard issue broken heart
You step into your Saturday shoes
And you might feel better if
You slapped her face
Or slipped some pills in his wine
But instead some voice in
Your head keeps saying
You'll look back and laugh sometime
So bring on the rainclouds and
Block out the moon let the action begin
'Cause it's as sure as sunrise
And as sure as time
The bride will be changing and
You will be crying
And it will be raining as soon
As the tide comes in
Yeah, it will be raining as soon
As the tide comes in
So put on your lipstick and check
That your hat's straight too
'Cause if they can go through with
This you can do it too
So bring on the rainclouds and
Block out the moon let the action begin
'Cause it's as sure as sunrise
And as sure as time
The bride will be changing and
You will be crying
And it will be raining as soon
As the tide comes in
It will be raining as soon
As the tide comes in
Yeah, it will be raining as soon
As the tide comes in
It will be raining as soon
As the tide comes in tonight
