I though we had just what we needed A life you could hold in your hand But now that the waves have receeded I see it was all a reflection on subwater I built a house in the sand Gathered all my hopes and put them inside So drunk with the view I forgot to watch out for the tide Well here comes the tide Where does it go? Where does it go? When it goes away Where does it go? I thought I saw it here yesterday Do you just watch it all disappear? Almost within reach But vanishing away You can find so much You can lose so much in a day In a single day Where did it go? Where did it go? (Where did it go?) What do you do? When do you know? When it can't be saved? Where did it go? I wish you'd tell me 'Cause I forget (Where did it go?) Up in the clouds? Up with the smoke from your cigarrette? Where did it go? Where did you go?
