As Soon As The Tide Comes In

As Soon As The Tide Comes In - Del Amitri

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

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

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

Yeah it will be raining

As soon as the tide comes in

So put on your lipstick and check

That your 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

Yeah it will be raining

As soon as the tide comes in
