Spill Canvas - The Tide Lyrics
there's three, count 'em three children playing on the beach. They were eager to learn, to be taught, and to teach.There's Veronica. She's biting her lip as she watches the waves turn white at the tip.There's Vada. Radiating with joy and luckily luckily she still can't stand the sight of a boy.Lastly, there's Dade. His hair dances in the wind and he's wondering what love is and why it has to end.He can't understand how everyone goes on breathing when true love ends. His mother whispers quietly...Heaven's not a place that you go when you dieIt's that moment in life when you actually feel alive. So take this advicelive by every word. Love is just a hoax so forgeteverything that you have heard and live for the moment now.There's Veronica. She's licking her lips as she waits for her realfirst passionate kiss. There's Vada. Can't admit her jealousyof her sister Veronica and how she's so pretty.Lastly, there's Dade. Still sitting on the dock.Ponders his life, and he skips his rocks. He wonderswhen his father will return, but he's not coming back.There's three, count 'em three children missing from the beach.But the sad thing is that they never lived past the age of fifteendue to neglect from their mother who was bedriddenby her ex-lover, their father. She didn't even notice, or pay much attentionas the tide came in and swept her three into the ocean. Now all her adviceseems useless. Heaven's not a place that you go when you dieit's that moment in life when you actually feel alive. Take this advice, live by every word.Love's completely real, so forget everythingthat you've heard and live for the moment now.
