Tide's Temptation

Whisper your name into the wind;
Reach for me in the swell
Of the tides
That play this city allegro by day
And andante by night,
Never completely resting;
An aria that ebbs and flows
With the beat of lovers’ hearts
Building to a crescendo

Con moto
Con fuoco
Con passione

And easing toward the cadenza

Affetruoso
Con brio
Adagio

Gliding through the night 
Repeated dal segno
To the pull of the moon,
A concerto duetto

Con amore
