Tie Up the Tides Lyrics by Quilt

Held in Splendor

2014

[Verse 1]
Standing lit by the candle light and make the moon my home
Tie up the tides as they rising, as they fall
What can I get? What can I hold?
Should I even ask these things at all?!
[Hook]
Though I live by candle light and only if I’d know
I’m walking down this road alone
We watch the Earth for a good will unfold
Until I find my golden home
[Verse 2]
I left a world of dreams and entered one anew
A planetary truth is born of lightning
There’s nothing left when you suffocate the hours
Spent beyond what time you had to offer
[Hook 2]
Though I live by candle light and only if I’d know (Show what you say and what you know)
I’m walking down this road alone ('Cause I find my golden home)
We watch the Earth for a good will unfold (Why don't you say what you know?)
Until I find my golden home ('Cause I find my golden home)
[Bridge]
As it goes making up, it’s mine down into my bones
Isn’t this what you brought me here for?
This parallel of backwards gifts slips into my eyes
Isn’t this what I felt the need for?
Oh, child, you keep living that way in your own time
Oh, child, you keep living that way in your own time
[Verse 3]
This feeling back up circles and this loop through which I’m thrown
The moon will never keep us from unfolding
I point my way back home until my fingertips turn blue
There is no me and there is no you
[Hook 2]
