Ebb tide is the period between high tide and the next low tide in which the sea is receding, causing the tide to go out and to draw away from the land. Although this is only one phase of the tide, the song compares the cyclic movement of the water to the lovers’ relationship.
This is a popular love song, written in 1953 by the lyricist Carl Sigman and composer Robert Maxwell. Similar to the biblical book of “Song of Solomon,” the author renders the relationship with the two lovers in courtship longing for affection while expressing their love for one another. Eventually, they come together in marriage, the groom extolling his bride’s beauty before they consummate their relationship. Finally, she struggles with the fear of separation, while he reassures his bride of his affections for her. All of this reinforces the theme of the goodness of marriage. Some suggest the book also pictures in a more general way Christ’s love for His bride, the church.

Ebb Tide Lyrics
First the tide rushes in
Plants a kiss on the shore
Then rolls out to sea
And the sea is very still once more
So I rush to your side
Like the oncoming tide
With one burning thought
Will your arms open wide
At last we're face to face
And as we kiss through an embrace
I can tell, I, I can feel
You are love, you are real
Really mine in the rain
In the dark, in the sun
Like the tide at its ebb
I'm at peace in the web of your arms
Ebb tide
