It's been five days of rain and it's almost summer
I can hear the spring wash away
Down the river and to the bay

As sure as the day comes that you're leaving, you'll return
As sure as these days drag on
The years will fly by when you're home

I don't speak your name but I know the rhythm
The pace of these days is unforgiving

Just like the tide pulls on the water and let's it go
My heart will rise and fall and bring you safely to the shore
As sure as the day comes that you're leaving, you'll return
As sure as these days drag on
The years will fly by when you're home
