The Night Tide

For Christ sake, Chrissy

Won't you open the door

Don't tell me you're still sleeping

All hell's going on in the street outside

All the roads are closed this evening

Tried to call you but the lines are jammed

Don't say you're not ready

After all we planned

Sail on the night

Sail on the night tide

There's no need packing

You can leave your keys

We're running out of time now

That money's worth nothing

When we're all at sea

Leave it all behind now

Down the culvert

And across the tracks

Down to the river

As we turn our backs

Sail on the night

Sail on the night tide

Only one way out of town tonight

Miss the madness if we time it right

Sail on the night

Sail on the night tide
