Just As The Tide Was A Flowing Lyrics by 10,000 Maniacs
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
On one morning
In the month of May
When all the birds
Were singing

I saw a lovely maiden stray
Across the fields at break of day
She softly sung her roundelay

The tide flows in
The tide flows out
Twice every day returning

Her cheeks were red
Her eyes were brown
Her hair in ringlets hanging down
Upon her face to hide the frown

Just as the tide was a flowing
The tide flows in
The tide flows out
Twice everyday returning

A sailor's wife at home must bide
She halted heavily she sighed
"He parted from poor me , a bride
I'm widowed by the sea" she cried

Just as the tide was a flowing

The tide flows in
The tide flows out
Twice every day returning
On one morning   In the month of May   When all the birds   Were singing      I saw a lovely maiden stray   Across the fields at break of day   She softly sung her roundelay      The tide flows in   The tide flows out   Twice every day returning      Her cheeks were red   Her eyes were brown   Her hair in ringlets hanging down   Upon her face to hide the frown      Just as the tide was a flowing   The tide flows in   The tide flows out   Twice everyday returning      A sailor's wife at home must bide   She halted heavily she sighed   "He parted from poor me , a bride   I'm widowed by the sea" she cried      Just as the tide was a flowing      The tide flows in   The tide flows out   Twice every day returning
