How the Tide Rushes In

How the tide rushes in
 And covers footprints in the sand
 As my hope's erased and carried
 Out of my hand
 How the tides ebb and flow
 As driftwoods tossed upon the shore
 And my heart's cast aside
 And lost evermore
 Yet though the ocean with waves unending
 Covers the earth
 Yet is there loss after all
 For what e'er drifts from one place
 Is with the tide to another brought
 And there's naught lost beyond recall
 Which cannot be found
 If sought
 Yet though the ocean with waves unending
 Covers the earth
 Yet is there loss after all
 For what e'er drifts from one place
 Is with the tide to another brought
 And there's naught lost beyond recall
 Which cannot be found
 If sought
