about

The most recently written track on this album from early 2022 was inspired by - perhaps - watching a certain pirate-y movie franchise. Watch for the green flash...

lyrics

Now the tide is coming in
I could be stranded here
Until first light of dawn
I'll blink thrice and you'll be...

Today was the first day I walked along your rocky shore
Fog rolling in, scent of wooden ships and seafarers of old
Siren song of salt and ancient rock low tide now lays bare
I feel the pull of the waves whispering my name

Now the tide is coming in and I must not stay long
Or I'll be stranded here, forced to stay lost in the song
Until first light of dawn when the sun breaks through the fog
I'll blink thrice and you'll be gone

At water's edge I feel the gate, though my eyes cannot see
I hear the sound of voices that my heart knew lifetimes ago
I know this place, know my feet would take me home if I would dare
To see your face again and dance in the depths of your embrace

Now the tide is coming in and I must not stay long
Or I'll be stranded here, forced to stay lost in the song
Until first light of dawn when the sun breaks through the fog
I'll blink thrice and you'll be gone
I'll blink thrice and you'll be gone

Sea swell, it rose and fell
Yet I am unmoved
Salt spray, it shall decay
All my fears shall be disproved

Now the tide is coming in and I'll be right along
I won't be stranded here; my voice shall echo in my song
Until first light of dawn when the sunbreaks through the fog
You'll blink thrice and I'll be gone
You'll blink thrice and I'll be gone
You'll blink thrice and I'll be...gone....
