[Verse 1]
Mister, pull up a chair, I got time for tears
Tell me all the stories that you never did
Of the salty south, well the Seminoles held out
While Geronimo died in a lonely jail
[Chorus]
A thousand tides and a thousand waves
Takin' it all away
It'll come back in, we'll be gone by then
Oh, and it's a miracle we ever learned to live
[Verse 2]
Drain that land for a better plan—
The sugarcane and the civil man
But now they're ringin' dead them pines planted in that time
They gonna keep on killin' 'til they get it right
[Chorus]
A thousand tides and a thousand waves
Takin' it all away
It'll come back in, we'll be gone by then
Oh, and it's a miracle we ever learned to live (Yeah)
[Verse 3]
I remember the wind as it was settlin'—
And every sun goin' down was a picture then
But we look back in frames, they all look the same—
There's no sense of time, no sense of pain
Mister, pull up a chair, I got time for tears
Tell me all the stories that you never did
Of the salty south, well the Seminoles held out
While Geronimo died in a lonely jail
[Chorus]
A thousand tides and a thousand waves
Takin' it all away
It'll come back in, we'll be gone by then
Oh, and it's a miracle we ever learned to live
[Verse 2]
Drain that land for a better plan—
The sugarcane and the civil man
But now they're ringin' dead them pines planted in that time
They gonna keep on killin' 'til they get it right
[Chorus]
A thousand tides and a thousand waves
Takin' it all away
It'll come back in, we'll be gone by then
Oh, and it's a miracle we ever learned to live (Yeah)
[Verse 3]
I remember the wind as it was settlin'—
And every sun goin' down was a picture then
But we look back in frames, they all look the same—
There's no sense of time, no sense of pain
