music – David Binney

Tide
by David Binney

A track for our times.

Lyrics:
A-
A wave of violence
breaks onto silence

We watch
the ebb and flow
of heartache
come and go

The plea unheard
A cry wasted
The horizon fades
as salts tasted

A country sinks
No peace for miles
A sea of waste
and a baron smiles

B-
Tides come in fast
Then come the waves
Which do not last
They will crest and they will fade

A-
And now
as a land succumbs
to bad ideas
and beach bums

A wave
of sadness
dissolves
to madness

David Binney
