Low Tide
by American Arson

Album: Sand & Cinder, Tide & Timber

Introduction
I drew a straight line
My barrel was fixed on the tree line
My back to the shore
The ocean roared
I drew a straight line
My barrel was fixed on the tree line
My back to the shore
The ocean roared

Verse 1
Then came the blindside
A fool suckered in by the low tide
Adrift in the waves
A castaway

Chorus
Sling me that line again
Shocked to be so na ve when I know
Every story ends this way
Pull me to shore again
Thought I could swim but I've learned it takes
More than a clever pen to break
Break the waves

Verse 2
See how the heart goes
Wherever the volatile wind blows?
Its anchors aweigh
With each new wave

Chorus
Sling me that line again
Shocked to be so na ve when I know every story ends this way
Pull me to shore again
Thought I could swim but I've learned it takes
More than a clever pen to break
Break the waves

Outro
The line that I've drawn in the sand keeps shifting
Catastrophe caved in my castle walls
God, grant me the gift of a deeper wisdom
And courage to rise every time I fall
