Don't let the tide come and take me Don't let the tide come and wash us away So don't let the tide come and take me Oh no, get ready I just want a safe place to hide us away Far from with you, where I wanna stay Stay close, hold steady I feel it coming,

Let me take you far away You'd like a holiday Longing for the sun you will come Exchange the cold days for the sun A good time and fun Exchange your troubles for some love Wherever you are To the island without name Longing for the sun be welcome

Rain rings trash can bells And what do you know My alley becomes a cathedral Eyes can be archways To enter or leave by Vacuums replaced by a crystal Jesus don't let Toronto take my song away It's easy to love if You let yourself love it

Walk on through Come on take me away Don't push me too far Your only rivers run cold These city lights They shine as silver and gold

This beautiful tragedy This dying destiny Is crashing into me And this judgment day is drawing near And this confession is killing me again Take me away Come crashing into me Silent night Let me sleep away these memories within

This isn't me any more, I need something to believe in If you think you've seen the last of me The flat line has come and gone But won't take me away I'm tortured By this dream I've manufactured From the inside out but it makes me stronger

(Come on) Sing with me, (Sing), sing for the years (Sing it) Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears (Come on) Sing it with me, just for today, Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away These ideas are nightmares to white parents Whose worst fear

And never let me down Only one friend to understand One friend, that never goes away People come and people go They take and they give Build you up, just to let you down That's just the way it is But all I need is One friend, to get me through the day

Don't go to sleep Yeah, take my hand (Let's dance!) Won't you please just take my hand? Why you gotta go to sleep? Let's go out Get blown away, lost in the dark Get real high and never come down C'mon baby, put your hands on my hips

And never let me down Only one friend to understand One friend, that never goes away People come and people go They take and they give Build you up, just to let you down That's just the way it is But all I need is One friend, to get me through the day
