The Night Tide

For christsake, Chrissy
Won’t you open the door —
Don’t tell me you’re still sleeping
All hell’s going on in the street outside
All the roads are closed this evening;
Tried to call you but the lines are jammed
Don’t say you’re not ready
After all we planned…
Sail on the night…
Sail on the night tide
There’s no need packing
You can leave your keys
We’re running out of time now
That money’s worth nothing
When we’re all at sea —
Leave it all behind now
Down the culvert
And across the tracks
Down to the river
As we turn our backs…
Sail on the night…
Sail on the night tide
Only one way out of town tonight
Miss the madness if we time it right…
Sail on the night…
Sail on the night tide
