We Are the Tide

I hear the train all night Sound of its wind blowing through our subtle lives And I have a job to do walking these cars Walking all asleep to get to you But I don't feel your stir beside me And your not in my morning hour Some ties are made to break

The stars wash over me So far away that I can barely breathe From where I lay Never have I been so far From home o'er the years I was cut From sand and rain I'm calling Through ebb and flow I'm calling Whichever way goes Desert rock and roads were up
