There's a gold crack of lightClimbing up the wallAnd the last bell for leavingIs ringing in the hallAnd it feels like a stoneHas been lifted from the worldRunning every directionWithout a clue where to turn.Chorus:And I hear the soundOf a tide's rise and fallAnd it's getting loudAs it breaks on the shoreAnd you can't catch an eyeIn the street anymoreAnd the key to the cityIs behind locked doorsSo you take what you canSmooth with the roughAnd you get what you wish forBut it's never enoughChorus:And I hear the soundOf a tide's rise and fallAnd it's getting loudAs it breaks on the shore
