Song Of The Shirt (After The Tide Has Gone)

VERSE 1

For awhile, to rinse was all we could do, I was creased and I knew,

In my size, you could hide, Deep inside I knew my thread was blue,

For awhile, I shed the dirt of the past, I knew Tide would last,

Every night, something right, would beckon me to the dryer,

Pre-Chorus

Something happened along the way,

What used to be damp is now dry,

Something happened along the way,

And dry water is all that we have,

Chorus

And, oh, after the Tide has gone,

How could you drown me on,

And not let me float around?

Oh, oh, oh, after the Tide has gone,

What used to be clean is gone,

Can dirt that’s lost be found?

Verse 2

For awhile, to wash me over with all,

I would ever need,

Tide was strong for so long,

Never knew that what was clean

Oh, baby, wasn’t right,

We tried to Tide what we had,

‘Til creases were all we shared,

We were scared,

This affair would split the pod in two

Pre-Chorus

Something happened along the way,

What used to be damp is now dry,

Something happened along the way,

And dry water is all that we have,

Chorus

And, oh, after the Tide has gone,

How could you drown me on,

And not let me float around?

Oh, oh, oh, after the Tide has gone,

What used to be clean is gone,

Can dirt that’s lost be found?
