[Long Dreamy Instrumental Intro] [Flowing bass establishes the tidal groove] [Liquid phased guitar introduces the recurring hook] [No vocals, no humming] [Verse 1 — intimate, restrained] Salt on the glass Lights on the bay Your shadow moves Then slips away The road bends slow Beside the sea Every wave Comes back to me [Instrumental Response] [Guitar repeats the final vocal contour] [Chorus — simple, addictive] Come with the tide Come with the tide You disappear But never leave my mind Come with the tide Out of the blue The sea keeps bringing Pieces of you [Instrumental Drift — 8 bars] [Lead guitar circles around the chorus hook] [Long tape echoes leave space between phrases] [Verse 2] Windows glow Then fall behind The moon rolls low Across the line I taste the rain I hear your name The coast has changed But feels the same [Chorus] Come with the tide Come with the tide You disappear But never leave my mind Come with the tide Out of the blue The sea keeps bringing Pieces of you [Extended Psychedelic Instrumental Break] [Recurring liquid guitar hook develops melodically] [Deep flowing bass, muted drums, phasing and tape echo] [Gradual rise without becoming heavy] [Bridge — sparse, dreamlike] Was it your hand Against my skin? Or only water Coming in? Was I returning To the shore? Or to the man I was before? [Break — bass and muted drums] Come with the tide... [Final Chorus — softer, wider] Come with the tide Come with the tide Nothing is gone It only changes with the night Come with the tide Out of the blue The sea keeps bringing Pieces of you [Long Instrumental Outro] [Lead guitar carries the chorus melody] [Flowing bass and tape-delay reflections] [Natural fade]
