The Night Tide

(album: North By Northwest - 1982)

For Christ sake, Chrissy
Won't you open the door
Don't tell me you're still sleeping
All hell's going on in the street outside
All the roads are closed this evening
Tried to call you but the lines are jammed
Don't say you're not ready
After all we planned

Sail on the night
Sail on the night tide

There's no need packing
You can leave your keys
We're running out of time now
That money's worth nothing
When we're all at sea
Leave it all behind now
Down the culvert
And across the tracks
Down to the river
As we turn our backs

Sail on the night
Sail on the night tide

Only one way out of town tonight
Miss the madness if we time it right

Sail on the night
Sail on the night tide
