TO THE SEA
Tweet
"The atmospheric, contemplative song has a bridge that evokes thoughts of Sgt. Pepper, and the bluesy guitar break is an unexpected musical curve ball." -- Bill Kopp, Musoscribe, contributing editor at Goldmine: The Collectors Record and CD Marketplace, and Jazz & Prog Editor at BLURT magazine.
"'To the Sea' features the stirring strum of a ukulele surrounded by a misty ambience." -- Beverly Paterson, Something Else Reviews
Lyrics
You can see the edge of the world from here, from here
Everything becomes so clear when you hear what you hear
Waves sing to me, sweet melody
Sight and sound anchor me to the sea
Looking back so far below, to the shore, evermore
Cliffs are crumbling, slowly slip to the foam, taking my home
Miles underground, deep diving sound
Earth returns eternally to the sea
The city arises, untied from the land
Lifted and drifting, a gossamer caravan
Airships like thunderclouds all around me
Mem’ries rain down as the old world descends to the sea
You can see the end of the world from here, from here
Glass and steel yield to surf and bone and foam and fear
Sirens beguile, exhort and exile
Call me on and follow me to the sea
