[Intro] [lonely clustered chords] [reversed swell rising] [Verse 1] [voice: warm male, close-mic, easy] Tide pulls out and leaves a floor Mile of mirror, maybe more Roll the upright down the ramp Wheels in the sand, the felt gone damp [Pre-Chorus] [left-hand ostinato bounces in] Forty years of decks and rope Now I play the open coast [Chorus] Low tide, low tide, here's my room Half a mile of afternoon Play it loud, the gulls agree Then the water comes to me [Verse 2] [voice: warm male, close-mic, easy] Crabs keep time inside the keys Foam arrives in twos and threes First wave laps the pedal brass Cold and laughing as they pass [Bridge] [octave-jump run climbs] [stereo delay blooms wide] Here it comes, the whole grey sea Pulling up a chair for me [Chorus] Low tide, low tide, here's my room Half a mile of afternoon Play it bright, the swell agrees Then the water sings with me [Outro] [last note sustain with reverb decay] ---
