On one morning
In the month of May
When all the birds
Were singing
I saw a lovely maiden stray
Across the fields at break of day
She softly sung her roundelay
The tide flows in
The tide flows out
Twice every day returning
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsty.com/10000-maniacs-just-as-the-tide-was-a-flowing-lyrics.html ]
Her cheeks were red
Her eyes were brown
Her hair in ringlets hanging down
Upon her face to hide the frown
Just as the tide was a flowing
The tide flows in
The tide flows out
Twice everyday returning
A sailor's wife at home must bide
She halted heavily she sighed
"he parted from poor me , a bride
I'm widowed by the sea" she cried
Just as the tide was a flowing
The tide flows in
The tide flows out
Twice every day returning
