Cut the cord and swing the lead
   Failure's fate the one instead
   The tidemark's rising
  
   Blossom falls and clouds the air
   Powder trails the one in care
   The tidemark's rising
  
   Leaving you; Became arriving
   Falling down; Became diving
  
   Flowers bloom and take the sun
   Chances left when all is done
   The tidemark's rising
  
   River swells and breaks it banks
   Acting up instead of thanks
   The tidemarks rising
  
   Leaving you; Became arriving
   Falling down; Became diving
  
   Flooding cares to keep hope clear
   Drowning all to keep what's dear
   The tidemark's rising
  
   Keeping undercounts as acts
   Lying hard to prove a fact
   The tidemark's rising
  
   Leaving you: Became arriving
   Falling down: Became Diving
