High Tide

Henri Grünbauer

We were asked the Bank had it organised

Us 54 To walk the dried up sea

We were late cause some carkeys in the trunk

But there’ still time our guide agreed

R.: You didn’t expect it, high tides

And There seems no escape

when it comes from all sides

My life passing before my eyes like a movie

Killing me

Killing you

Killing all

 

Speaking of a guide he couldn’t talk himself

Low tide was low, high tide extremely high

One of us with a problem in the heart

The fog came up to take away our sight

R.: You didn’t expect it, high tides

And There seems no escape

when it comes from all sides

My life passing before my eyes like a movie

Gunshot heard

Far away

In the north

Water flows

East to west

You’ll get lost

At sea

 

It came from the left, the right and us

We gave up running and started clowning

A history teacher recognized the military plane

Which led the choppers to save us from drowning

Resque me

Resque you

Resque all

R.: You didn’t expect it, high tides

And There seems no escape

when it comes from all sides

My life passing before my eyes like a movie

 

Some of us

Taking eggs

For souvenir
