Richard Thompson - Turning Of The Tide Lyrics         How many boys, one night stands,   How many lips, how many hands, have held you   Like I'm holding you tonight   Too many nights, staying up late,   Too much powder and too much paint   No you can't hide from the turning of the tide      Did they run their fingers up and down your shabby dress   Did they find some tender moment there in your caress      The boys all say "You look so fine"   They don't come back for a second time   Oh you can't hide from the turning of the tide      Poor little sailor boy, never set eyes on a woman before   Did he tell you that he'd love you, darling, for evermore?      Pretty little shoes, cheap perfume,   Creaking bed in a hotel room   Oh you can't hide from the turning of the tide      Did they run their fingers up and down your shabby dress   Did they find some tender moment there in your caress      The boys all say "You look so fine",   They don't come back for a second time   Oh you can't hide from the turning of the tide
