RIDE THE TIDES
What's come over you, you don't seem like yourself
You've given me so much, you should know I just want to help
Sometimes you don't have to speak - I know what you gonna say
But right now I don't know much, don't leave me outside this way
You got me bangin' on a door that you won't answer - but you should know
I'd give you my heart if you lost the strength to face the world outside
I'd give you my eyes if I could make you see that we're just ships that ride the tides
Something has changed, it don't seem the same and I feel like my hands are tied
And I'm at a loss for words for the first time in a long, long time
All I wanna do is make you see the light
And take away that hopeless look that's in your eyes - and see your spirit rise
I'd give you my heart if you lost the strength to face the world outside
I'd give you my eyes if I could make you see that we're just ships that ride the tides
But you got me bangin on a door that you won't answer - won't you come around and let me inside, and open wide
I'd give you my heart if you lost the strength to face the world outside
I'd give you my eyes if I could make you see that we're just ships that ride the tides
Someday as we look to the west, the tides will show us we've been blessed
The love the tides don't strip away will still grow stronger day by day
Oh - stronger day by day
Oh - just ships that ride the tides

RIPE
To leave it alone would feel much better
It's easier said than done, but still I try
Maybe I should just forget her
She was the ripest of all, the pride of the tree
Abandoned her home - had to go and see the world, oh
Pictures with time, they get sacred
Our picture's the only thing that's stayed the same
But I made up my mind that I'd get through it
She was the ripest of all, the pride of the tree
Abandoned her home and she split two families
She got it all if she'd only come and grab it
She dropped the ball, like she don't even care
She never calls and I don't think she's going to
It's been too long - is it too long to repair...
There's no one to blame, but ain't it all just such a shame
Where are you now that we're much older?
How do you feel with all you left behind?
Do you ever stop and think about it?
D'ya think about the ripest of all, that was blown by the wind
Grew up from a seed that you planted long ago
You got it all if you'd only come and grab it
You dropped the ball, like you don't even care
You never call and I don't think you going to
It's been too long - is it too long to repair...
Oh, you got it all if you'd only come and grab it
You dropped the ball, like you don't even care
You never call and I don't think that I want you to
It's been too long - is it too long to repair yeah yeah
What's come over you, you don't seem like yourself
