[©Thirst For Love (ROCK COVER) - Artimus The Poet, Susan Manley 3/6/2025 All RIghts Reserved Lyrics by Susan Manley and Peter Mosher] [Verse 1] Will our love rise like the tide, sweeping us ashore, Leaving us changed, yet longing for more? Or will it fade like the retreating sea, A memory etched in the sand, leaving only debris? Will our love swirl like the river’s eddy, circling still, Lazy fish below, sparkling sunlight thrills? Will our love crash like the falls, a merry pounding sound, Wearing away, rushing fast, and breaking down? [Pre-Chorus] Love is the ocean, the calm, the storm, The ebb, the flow, the breaker’s form. But promise me this—don’t let it run dry, Don’t leave me gasping beneath the open sky. [Chorus] Don’t drift away like the tide at night, Don’t leave me waiting for your light. Speak your truth, let your waters flow, Let me feel the love I used to know. [Verse 2] You left me stranded on jagged rocks, The tide receding, your voice locked. I called your name to the restless waves, But they only answered with your grave. Why did you let us fall so deep, If you planned to drift away? Was I your ocean, or just the shore You passed on your way? [Pre-Chorus] True love is water, wild and still, It bends, it breaks, it finds its will. But trust is the stone beneath the stream— Lose that, and love escapes like steam. [Chorus] Don’t drift away like the tide at night, Don’t leave me waiting for your light. Speak your truth, let your waters flow, Let me feel the love I used to know. [Bridge] Come back to me, where the waters run clear— I’ll wait on the shore, I’ll wait right here. Don’t let love dry to sand, don’t let it drown, Let the waves of us carry you back around. [Musical Interlude] [Outro] And if the stream runs dry, love fades away, It leaves behind a hollow bay. But I’ll wait for the rain, I’ll wait for the tide, For love, even broken, still abides. [Fading guitar solo]
