Hold Back the Tide Songtext
von Ruth Notman

Hold back the tide, Johnny
Keep me from losing, losing my way
Oh, when the waters turn, my bonnie
I′ll shutter my windows and hide from the day

When the ship meets the river
Men's hearts sail away

When we were young, Johnny
We strolled by the river
Strayed by the stream
Oh, you took my heart, Johnny
We sailed the same oceans
And dreamed the same dreams
Now when the ships go, love
I lose you, it seems


So hold back the tide, Johnny
Keep me from losing, losing my way
Oh, when the waters turn, my bonnie
I′ll shutter my windows and hide from the day

Stone silence and empty glances
Trapped in the gaps between Heaven and Hell
Cold time lies heavy on you
The big ships are gone, love
There's no more to tell

So hold back the tide, Johnny
Keep me from losing, losing my way
Oh, when the waters turn, my bonnie
I'll shutter my windows and hide from the day

The big ships are gone, love
There′s no more to tell
