Текст песни Ruth Notman - Hold Back the Tide

Hold back the tide Johnnie
Keep me from losing - losing my way
When the waters turn my bonnie
I'll shutter my window 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 window 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

So hold back the tide Johnnie
Keep me from losing - losing my way
When the waters turn my bonnie
I'll shutter my window and hide from the day

The big ships are gone love
There's no more to tell
