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
