Waiting for the Tide to Turn Songtext
von The Dingoes

Everybody′s waitin' for the tide to turn, been waitin′
It's takin' such a long time
Makin′ mistakes, but only some of us learn
Yeah, it′s always the hard way

Well, the levee bank gave way late last night
And the rain and the river rushed in
We were watchin' by the light of a heartbreak moon
We were wonderin′ where we'd ever begin
If the rain keeps fallin′ just one more day
We'll see all our hard-won dreams washed away
Day after day, can′t take much longer
Week after week, we're not gettin' any stronger

Sittin′ here waitin′ for the tide to turn, been waitin'
It′s takin' such a long time
Makin′ mistakes, but only some of us learn
Yeah, it's always the hard way


I know a girl who′s livin' way out west
Havin' trouble just keepin′ her head
Out on the range in the kitchen fetchin′
Cursin' the day she was wed
′Cause her man don't seem to understand
You can′t get nothin' from that sunburned land
Day after day, you know it′s gettin' her down
She knows they won't even make it the long way around

Sittin′ here waitin′ for the tide to turn, been waitin'
It′s takin' such a long time
Makin′ mistakes, but only some of us learn
Yeah, it's always the hard way

All the walls that we climbed and the fens that we crossed
Still couldn′t show us the way
Then the fog rolled in and we all got lost
And now we're gonna have to pay
Somebody said we could turn on the light
But nobody counted on it bein' so bright
Blinded everybody so they just couldn′t see
I don′t want that kind of light ever shinin' on me

Sittin′ here waitin' for the tide to turn, been waitin′
It's takin′ such a long time
Makin' mistakes, but only some of us learn
Yeah, it's always the hard way


Takin′ such a long time
Takin′ such a long time
Takin' such a long time
Takin′ such a long time
Takin' such a long time
