Story Behind The Song
When I was a young man in the out islands. I met the love of my life. Both of us where broke and we both had to sail away in different directions aboard different boats. Never to meet again . You need jobs and you need money to make love work.

Lyrics
I was out late last night the tide was rolling in. I looked out to the sea and I thought of you again. Cause you come and you go just like that rollin tide. Break
There was a man he had a girl they thought they had it wired. But then the pain was like the rain and of course it put out their fires. They had no jobs they had no money.They had no chance at all. In it came but out it went. Just like that rollin tide. Break!
