	Originally a final plea to a love that has somewhat died over a painfuly long time. It outlines the perilous fall from loneliness to sheer exhaustion, fear and hurt that hits without warning from being blinded by love until it is to late.
	Story Behind the Song I originally, as always, wrote the lyrics with little thought to being out the real words that are inside. It is a song which is very personal, but one which I felt I wanted to share with perhaps those who have also been blinded by love and perhaps didnt see what was really going on until you hit rock bottom and find yourself abandoned and in a sense frightened. The lyrics describe 'falling', giving the sense of the rush from love and being loved. The lack of consideration for reality and the dangers that you narrowly avoid along the way. And, as you 'hit' the surface of the ocean (which in this case refers to reality) you struggle to escape but find it is already to late and that the waters have swallowed you whole with no helping hand to pull you to safety. Lyrics and when the tide moves in closer is that when you decide my life is over... falling from space air cushions my face ripping through clouds, no view of below a touch of a birds wing on my back; yet I still think of you? land from afar, ocean deep waiting for me as I 'sleep' whisper in the air around, saying that "another broken heart is found"... CHORUS: why do I cry? Oh why, do I want to die? and when the tide moves in closer is that when you decide my life is over... Glistens of light, like silver caught by the touch, of a young sun beam surface so blue, body so cold I fall so fast Yet I think of you?.. CHORUS who am I to say, what's right, anyway? I strike the water no pain no fear my eyes let go a pointless tear nothing but darkness no way to escape I kick and I scream but its far too late... CHORUS and when the tide moves in closer is that when you decide my life is over... and if you were to let me go I would surely die in your shadow.
