Somewhere the Sun Is Shining / Hold Back the Tide - John Tams
Somewhere the sun is shining
Somewhere the sky is blue
Somewhere the silver lining
Is shining for me and you
And I know
That the road is a hard one to travel on
Over high mountains and by the sea strand
Out of the valley the sun never shines upon
To the gold glades of that sweet promised land
Somewhere the sun is shining
Somewhere the sky is blue
Somewhere the silver lining
Is shining for me
Shining for me
Shining for me and you
Hold back the tide johnnie
Keep me from losing losing my way
When the waters turn my bonnie
I'll shutter my windows and hide from the day
When the ship meets the river
Men's hearts sail away
When we were young johnnie
We strolled by the river strayed by the stream
You took my heart johnnie
We sailed the same oceans
We dreamed the same dreams
Now when the ships go love
I lose you it seems
So hold back the tide johnnie
Keep me from losing losing my way
When the waters turn my bonnie
I'll shutter my windows and hide from the day
When the ship meets the river
Men's hearts sail away
Stone silence and empty glances
Trapped in the gaps between heaven and hell
Cold time lies heavy on you
The big ships are gone love
There's no more to tell
For the queen stole you heart love
When she waved her farewell
So hold back the tide johnnie
Keep me from losing losing my way
When the waters turn my bonnie
I'll shutter my windows and hide from the day
When the ship meets the river
Men's hearts sail away
When the ship meets the river
Men's hearts sail away
