(Words and music by and © Talis Kimberley, 1991)Saw your light on so I came to find youSaw you packing and I wondered whyYou were crying as you turned to face meCrying as you said goodbyeOn the bed beside your half filled suitcaseThe shawl I found you in, the one that I hidYou said nothing as you saw me lookingAnd you know why I did what I did:I never thought that I could hold you foreverAlways knew deep down you'd have to go homeI can be grateful for these bright years togetherAnd I know you miss the salt sea foamIf you hurry, you can still catch the tide, my loveIf you hurry you can still catch the tide.I'm not sorry that I kept you by meI've never lied to you and I won't start nowIn a few years time perhaps you might just forgive meForgive me if the sea allowsI don't expect you to remember me kindlyToo much to hope for after what I've doneI could move inland here the sea will just remind meBut anyway I guess you'd better runSongtexteI never thought that I could hold you foreverEvery morning now I sit here and watch for youI know it's hopeless but I have to tryI don't dare move away in case I miss youThe one day you might just swim bySo you and the sea have had a fine and fitting vengeanceI'm no more capable of leaving hereThan I left you able to return to your sea dreamsWell I'm sorry now I'm sorry now, do you hear:I never thought that I could hold you foreverIf you hurry you can still catch the tide.
