Red Tide

First thing in the morning
I went down to the beach
Grabbed myself a muscle
It was well within my reach
Went back to the kitchen
Whipped up a lemon butter sauce
Little did I know that day
My life I almost lost

Red tide
cll the fish have died
Red tide
We are still alive
Red tide
It's rising in my mind
Red tide
It's time to draw the line

Later on that afternoon
We went out for a hike
Challenging Rock scrambling
It was more of a climb

Hanging off the precipice
I stared out at the sea
That's when I saw the thing
That deeply troubled me

Red tide
cll the fish have died
Red tide
We are still alive
Red tide
It's rising in my mind
Red tide
It's time to draw the line

Red Tides running up the coast again
Red Tides running you beware my friend
Red tide spotted in the waters of Maine
If you've got troubles red tides to blame

We made it off that mountain
cnd went down to the pound
Got ourselves some lobsters
The biggest ones around
Onions carrots celery
We made a simple stock
Imagine my amazement
When I looked into the pot

Red tide
cll the fish have died
Red tide
It's rising in my mind
Red tide
We are still alive
Red tide
It's time to draw the line
