[Verse 1]

We were the heirs of autumn

With constellations calling

Us to dance under a painted golden moon

The future was a secret

And we promised we would keep it

But we sailed into tomorrow far too soon

[Chorus]

Oh, my love

The tide is calm

But, oh, my love

The waves are coming

[Verse 2]

In the dark the water's perfect

But just beneath the surface

There's an undertow that's waiting in the deep

In the broken light of morning

We will understand the warnings

Of the shipwrecks and the skeletons we keep

[Chorus]

Oh, my love

The tide is calm

But, oh, my love

The waves are coming

[Bridge]

Mm-hm, mm-hm, mm-hmm, mm-hm

Mm-hm, mm-hm, mm-hmm, mm-hm

It's easier to let go

Than to dive into the unknown

There's a strength that leaves when your eyes can't see the shore

I know that we can weather

Every bitter tear together

We were made to last, we can make it past the storm

[Chorus]

Oh, my love

The tide is calm

Oh, my love

The waves are coming
