I cry up to the man in the moon   He's the only one can help me now   I bought the line that as long as I tried   I could not leave empty handed   But I've done all I can do   And now I leave it up to you      I'm waiting for the tide to turn   Waiting for the tide to turn   Waiting, waiting for the tide   To take me   To take me away      Goodnight moon   I should be talking to Neptune   He's the one who will teach me patience   For whoever rules the sea   Is now the ruler over me      I'm waiting for the tide to turn   Waiting for the tide to turn   Waiting, waiting for the tide   To take me      So I have proved   Some things can't be moved   And here I wait   But my faith is weak   And the water's creeping   Up to my chin, I am      Waiting for the tide to turn   Waiting for the tide to turn   Waiting, waiting for the tide   To take me
