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 talkin' 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   Words By Melanie Doane   Music By Melanie Doane And Rick Neigher  (P) 1998 Sony Music Entertainment (Canada) Inc.
