King Tide - Neil Finn

It’s a dark and empty room

The sun beating hard on your door

Feel emotion roar within you

You’re flesh and blood like anyone

Make some sense of your life

Move your hand and make the mark

I don’t know why you’re so confused

You’re flesh and blood, there’s no excuse

And the hunger inside

Won’t go away, it’s starting to rise

And the longer you hide

The more you deny

And the sea rushes in

The wind is howling at your back

The past is always overturned

It’s a dead man who would refuse

And twice the man to fill his shoes

And the hunger inside

Won’t go away it’s starting to rise

And the longer you hide

The more you deny

And the hunger inside

Won’t go away it’s starting to rise

And the sea rushes in

Into my world

I can feel the king tide coming

All my senses overflowing

One night waiting out the back

Horns’ll blow and cymbals crash

So paint a circle in the sky

I lay breathless in the arms of love

There’s a bruise on my back

And a new understanding too
