Low Tides

Low Tides
This is a blues ballad where the singer appraises his life, thinking it’s not seen by others through the same prism he uses.

Verse 1
Why is my life remembered for it’s sins,
and not its kindness?
People recall my loses, not my wins;
who sees my steadiness?

Chorus
I try so hard,
keep up my guard,
come away scarred,
just a big ol’punch card,
flee the graveyard,
I try so hard.

Verse 2
I guess we all paint a different picture
than what we intend,
I guess we all live an odd mixture
than what we pretend.

Chorus
I try so hard,
keep up my guard,
come away scarred,
just a big ol’punch card,
flee the graveyard,
I try so hard.



Bridge
I felt the high tide
of love,
and the low tides
of my life . . .
one hell of a strange ride.

Hope I do much better
the next tide.

Instrumental

Chorus
I try so hard,
keep up my guard,
come away scarred,
just a big ol’punch card,
flee the graveyard,
I try so hard.
