Spill Canvas, The The Tide Lyrics

Album - Sunsets and Car Crashes
there's three, count 'em three children playing on the beach. They were eager to learn, to be taught, and to teach.
There's Veronica. She's biting her lip as she watches the waves turn white at the tip.
And there's Vada. Radiating with joy and luckily she still can't stand the sight of a boy.
Lastly, there's Dave. His hair dances in the wind and he's wondering what love is and why it has to end.
And he can't understand how everyone goes on breathing when true love ends. His mother whispers quietly...
Heaven's not a place that you go when you die
It's that moment in life when you actually feel alive. So live for the moment. Take this advice
live by every word. Love is just a hoax so forget
anything that you have heard and live for the moment now.
And there's three. Count 'em three children growing on the beach. They were eager to learn, to be taught, to teach. There's Veronica. She's licking her lips as she waits for her real
first passionate kiss. And there's Vada. Can't admit her jealousy
of her sister Veronica and how she's so pretty.
Lastly, there's Dave. Still sitting on the dock.
Ponders his life, and he skips his rocks. He wonders
when his father will return, but he's not coming back.
And he can't understand how everyone goes on breathing when true love ends. His mother whispers quietly...
Heaven's not a place that you go when you die
It's that moment in life when you actually feel alive. So live for the moment. Take this advice
live by every word. Love is just a hoax so forget
anything that you have heard
There's three, count 'em three children missing from the beach. They were eager to learn, to be taught, to teach.
But the sad thing is that they never lived past the age of fifteen
due to neglect from their mother who was bedridden
by her ex-lover, their father. And she didn't even notice, or pay much attention
as the tide came in and swept her three into the ocean. Now all her advice
seems useless. Heaven's not a place that you go when you die
it's that moment in life when you touch her and you feel alive. So live for the moment. Take this advice, live by every word.
Love's completely real, so forget anything
that you've heard and live for the moment now.
