Slack Tide

Lyrics

I've got a fish on the line
 But there won't be a feast
 We've got too much in common
 And he shall be released
 I've seen day turn to night
 And watched the changin' of seasons
 Things don't just happen
 They happen for a reason
 
 Maybe we'll meet in Exuma
 Or down in the Keys
 If I catch the right current
 Or capture a breeze
 Out here, conflicts and chaos completely subside
 Sailin' back to where I came from
 Back to slack tide
 ♪
 Well, I think it's time to put some snorkels on
 Turn your feet into flippers
 Have some primal fun
 Dance with a stranger in a Mardi Gras parade
 Find an empty hammock, take a nap in the shade
 You can't hold back the moon
 Can't stop the ebb and flow
 The water still comes, and the water still goes
 It turns mountains to sand
 Gave ole Noah his big ride
 Then he dropped off his passengers
 Down, at slack tide
 ♪
 I can't control anybody
 Other than myself
 Leave those half empty thoughts
 High up on the shelf
 If you cut me some slack
 I'll return the favor
 Open that bottle of fine rum
 That together, we will savor
 Well, we could use some quiet
 We could use a little calm
 Find the good in everybody
 Share that "one love" balm
 Watch the predators and prey
 Swim along side by side
 Beneath the blue sky and mangroves
 Down, at slack tide
 
 I wish the whole wide world could swim along at slack tide
 ♪
 Swim along, swim along, swim along, swim along at slack tide
 Swim along, swim along, swim along, swim along
