Here's the rest of it. I'm not going to harvest it for the Digital Tradition.

WAITING FOR THE TIDE

I cry up to the man in the moon.
He's the only one can help me now.
I bought the line
That as long as I tried,
I could not leave empty-handed.
But I've done all I can do
And now I leave it up to you.

I'm waiting for the tide to turn,
Waiting for the tide to turn,
Waiting, waiting for the tide
To take me,
To take me away.

Goodnight, moon.
I should be talkin' to Neptune.
He's the one who will teach me patience.
For whoever rules the sea
Is now the ruler over me.

I'm waiting for the tide to turn,
Waiting for the tide to turn,
Waiting, waiting for the tide,
To take me.

So I have proved
Some things can't be moved,
And here I wait,
But my faith is weak,
And the water's creeping up to my chin.
I am...

Waiting for the tide to turn,
Waiting for the tide to turn,
Waiting, waiting for the tide
To take me.
