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
