Walking in and I couldn't see past you
You were everything that I hoped to be true
A sinking ship in the quicksand of time
I was looking for you, you to be my lifeline

Prayed to God for a way to rewind
But it all played out till I ran out of time
My mistakes got a hold of my mind
Lover, it's you, you're my only lifeline

When I had nothing in this
I had nothing in this world
You gave me a love divine
You took me hunting deep for pearls
When I had nothing to get
I had nothing for this world
You taught me to believe
You took me hunting deep for pearls

Ooh, every morning is a warning of mortality, I can't escape
Now that you're gone, I try to carry on
But lately I just can't relate, no
Take the pills when I feel low while I'm waiting for the television show

When I had nothing in this
I had nothing in this world
You gave me a love divine
You took me hunting deep for pearls
I had nothing in this world
You took me hunting deep for pearls

The tide keeps rising up
In the morning
And time is running out
On us
The tide keeps rising up
Till I'm drowning
A deeper kind of love, oh
The tide keeps rising up
In the morning
Time is running out
On us
The tide keeps rising up
Till I'm drowning
A deeper kind of love, oh

The tide keeps rising up
In the morning
And time is running out
On us
The tide keeps rising up
Till I'm drowning
A deeper kind of love, oh
