about

A song about hope.
Is the sea half empty, or half full ?
perhaps it depends if the tide is out.

lyrics

You Must be Sailing

I hear the sound of singing, just over my shoulder
Theres a Mermaid in your wine
Pushing out with a boat shirt for a sail or a flag
You’re afloat so you must be sailing

The whale and the drunk both hallucinate
Their intelligence led them to this state
We all want gardens and too much time to dig
You’re afloat so you must be sailing

Doctors came and went away puzzled by what they saw and found
An aroma of fresh backed tarts wafted up the stairs
Within seconds the man claimed to be able to see through the Earth
‘I can see the horizon, but I can’t see the horizon’

Down the Road, over the hill, here I am, here I am

I’m always interested in people sending me stuff to work with. Contact me ... more
