I've been waitin' on the fault line Let the needle take me on I'll be standing with my dyin' bell If you care to come along Racin' with the risin' tide to my father's door Racin' with the risin' tide to my father's door I've been lyin' in the bright lights See my shadow from below Never wanted from, another man Never wanted from my own Drownin' in the risin' tide in my father's door Drownin' in the risin' tide in my father's door Through a window to the last mile Little picture, on the wall From the banks on the far side See the lights come, ashore Racin' from the risin' tide to my father's door Racin' from the risin' tide to my father's door Racin' with the risin' tide to my father's door
