Jimmy Buffett Tides
Every sailors song
Is taught when they are young
That the full of the moon lingers on
Something we cant escape from Bimini round the Cape
Mixing the wind and the sea and sing along
To whom it may concern
Ive always tried to learn
That the good days need to last
Season with a lot of laughter
Here and then ever after
With poetry and painters from our past
So I follow the tides
On currents falling wild
Chalking up the stories and the miles
Yes, I follow the tides
Big blue eyes
And thats the reason I will never lose my smile
Hoping to catch a wave
Looking to misbehave
As my lucky star
Still shine above the sea
Watching the ships roll in
I play that Otis song again
For the tourists and some mermaids by the sea
And I follow the tides
Down my song lines far and wide
World to me should still be free and wild
Yes I follow the tides
Give me more big blue eyes
And thats the reason
I will never lose my smile
Every sailors song
Is taught when they are young
That the full of the moon lingers on
Something we cant escape
Is it salt water or just fate?
Mixing the wind and the sea and sing along
And we'll follow the tides
Down a song line far and wide
it seems to me my life's still free and wild
Yes we'll follow the tides
Give us more big blue eyes
And thats the reason
I will never lose my smile
And thats the reason
