On days like this we would linger by the ocean
then we would dream as we lay there side by side
i don't know why but one day you got the notion
to sit and watch for the changing of the tide
and then he came just to ask a foolish question
but jealousy in my heart i could not hide
though i don't believe it was really your intention
in your eyes i saw the changing of the tide
now you're gone from me all you left to me is the restless sea to keep me company
now i'm here alone where we used to be together
i can't forget guess i never really try
fool that i am i'll go on and on forever just watching for the changing of the tide
