As Soon As The Tide Comes In

You'd better get some sleep for a change Before tomorrow brings you down By three o'clock they'll both be sitting on that plane Hopelessly honeymoon bound And I hope no one asks you to kiss this bride Or tie tin cans to the car And if friends and relations mingle outside You can linger at the bar So bring on the rainclouds and block out the moon Let the action begin You'll feel like some soap opera star Predictably hitting the booze With your standard issue broken heart You step into your Saturday shoes And you might feel better if you slapped her face Or slipped some pills in his wine But instead some voice in your head keeps saying You'll look back and laugh sometime So bring on the rainclouds and block out the moon Let the action begin Cause it's as sure as sunrise and as sure as time The bride will be changing and you will be crying And it will be raining as soon as the tide comes in So put on your lipstick and check that you hat's straight too Cause if they can go through with it you can do it too So bring on the rainclouds and block out the moon Let the action begin Cause it's as sure as sunrise and as sure as time The bride will be changing and you will be crying And it will be raining as soon as the tide comes in And it will be raining as soon as the tide comes in --- As Soon As The Tide Comes In - Del Amitri
