Time And Tide Wait For No-One

Time and tide wait for no-one
And they won’t wait for you or me
You got to know
When to stay and when to go
When to do, when to be

Time and tide sometimes hurry
Sometimes move so slow
You got to be ready
To jump or hold steady
A-rocking and a-rolling with the flow

No matter what you think or do
Sometimes it really isn’t up to you
You just got to get out of the way!
And if you can’t shift at all
There’s nothing you can do at all but pray

Time and tide keep on pushing and pulling
Pushing and pulling on you and me
Sometimes our flood runs high
Sometimes we’re both left bone dry
Dreaming of the deep blue sea
