It’s been five days of rain
And it’s almost summer
I can hear the spring wash away
Down the river to the bay

As sure as the day comes
That you’re leaving, you’ll return
As sure as these days drag on
The years will fly by when you’re home

I don’t speak your name
But I know the rhythm
The pace of these days
Is unforgiving

Just like the tide pulls
On the water and lets it go
My heart will rise and fall
And bring you safely to the shore

As sure as the day comes
That you’re leaving you’ll return
As sure as these days drag on
The years will fly by when you’re home
