Take Me To The Tide
(Rick Torres)

(Chorus)
Take me to the tide,
Let me know just where I belong,
Take me to the tide,
Where I can wash myself clean

(Verse 1)
Everybody tells me
That I don't know what I want
But they don't understand
What goes on in my heart

For every day I live
Waiting for your call
And every lonely night
I'm longing for your arms

(Chorus)

(Verse 2)
Everybody asks me
Just what I've got on my mind
Oooh, but I can't tell them that
It'd be like giving away my soul

For every day I live
Calling out your name
And every lonely night
I'm dreaming of your face

Well.....

(Guitar solo)

For every day I live
Calling out your name
And every lonely night
I'm dreaming of your face

Take me to the tide (3x)

About This Song
This is without a doubt the fastest song I ever wrote. I sat down at a keyboard one morning in 1985 when I was still living with my parents, and wrote this entire song in 20, 30 minutes tops. Other than changing the key of the song and the solo instruments [it went from a piano, to a tenor sax(!), then finally to the nylon classical guitar solo you hear on this recording], nothing has changed!
