The Tide

The tide comes in a splashin

Where the rocks meet with the bay 

The winds they are a howlin

Neath the piers that seem to sway

 

The birds they fly in daily

and they're singing oh so gaily 

Twisted driftwood floats on by

when the tide comes in so brazenly high

 

Scores of fish washed up together

by waves, that don't care bout the weather 

Jelly fish glistening across the shore

but step on one they're all goo and gore
