about

This is a collaborative composition co-written with Dave Kitchen, my old guitar playing compatriot. This arrangement is mine, & I think I wrote the words - my memory isn't strong on this.

Anyway - a distillation of our fascination with the sea, & the dreams of escape & healing it calls up. A Summer Song, if you will. The wave & bird sounds were recorded at, I believe, Old Orchard Beach in Maine. But it might have been Cape Cod - again, memory fails.

Hope it helps you go roving away on a drift tide -

lyrics

We can go where sea birds fly
Along the shore, just you & I
We can go, down to the sea
Where storm clouds sail, & waves break free

Ooh - strolling along in the sunlight
Ooh - stars & the night, & the moon bright

We can go, away from care
Feet in sand in fresh salt air
We can go, get better sight
In brighter light, we’ll share delight

Ooh - weaving the sun through our day-dreams
Ooh - dancing all night in the moon beams

Isn’t it better, to cast away - & live our lives, from day to day
Isn’t it better to change our scene, free our souls – live our dreams

We can go – the path is clear
The healing sea will wash all tears
We can go – some way, somehow
We know our dreams, so let’s go now

Ooh - yearning to stray by the sea-side
Ooh - roaming away on a drift tide

(interlude)

Isn’t it better, to cast away - & live our lives, from day to day
Isn’t it better to change our scene, free our souls – live our dreams

We can go where sea birds fly
Along the shore, just you & I
We can go, down to the sea
Where storm clouds sail, & waves break free

Ooh - strolling along in the sunlight
Ooh - stargazing the night, & the moon bright

We can go, away from care
Feet in sand in fresh salt air
We can go, get better sight
In brighter light, we’ll share delight

We can go – the path is clear
The dancing sea will wash all fears
We can go – some way, somehow
We know our dreams, so let’s go now
We can go – some way, somehow
We know our dreams, so let’s go now
