You were not a firestorm Nor a wild spirit You were the tide, the thing I always knew but never saw Until it came upon me. You did not ravage me, But you lifted me up, so that I was floating In salt and kind smiles. The one thing you had in common with firestorms Was that you couldn't stay for long.

Tide
You were not a firestorm Nor a wild spirit You were the tide, the thing I always knew but never saw Until it came upon me. You did not ravage me, But you lifted me up, so that I was floating In salt and kind smiles. The one thing you had in common with firestorms Was that you couldn't stay for long.
