On the outgoing tide

I know that you're leaving today

And my tears will be a part of the sea

That's taking you darling, away from me!

But they can't take my dreams, they can't take the love in my heart

And although I know we're drifting apart

If heaven has meant you for me, for me

I know I will sail at your side, someday on the outgoing tide!
