Clear Water

(الألبوم: Hill Of Beans - 2019)

I want clear water from here to the horizon
Want some calm sea for the journey still ahead
Fair weather as we head out for the skyline
And a clear sky in the morning and every sunset red

I want clear water as we sail out to the edge
And all I want to hear is the ripple from the bow
Let us be at ease now and know our true position
Like a compass to the star, like a team hooked to the plough

And as for all the history
Best it's left unwritten
Few would believe, if we told all we have seen
Comedy and tragedy
Have come along unbidden
And they are the port and starboard
And we sail in between

I want clear water from here to the horizon
Maybe scarred and battered but who'd say we were wrong
When the journey, not the goal was the only thing that mattered
Then the wounds you though had healed
Can still be opened by a song

If we hear the timbers creak
There'll be the give and take
Forces from outside, for we know our craft is strong
As long as we can speak, without raising our voices
And the music of the storm is in the calming of the song

And at night upon the deck
I want to feel the salty spray
Like warm tears on my face
For the passing of the day
And watch the wheeling stars
Till the light breaks in the east
May the journey never end
Let me be at peace

I want clear water from here to the horizon
Want some calm seas for the journey still ahead
Fair weather as we head out for the skyline
I want clear water from here to the horizon
Want some calm seas for the journey still ahead
Fair weather as we head out for the skyline
I want clear water from here to the horizon
Want some calm seas for the journey still ahead
Fair weather as we head out for the skyline
And a clear sky in the morning and every sunset red
And a clear sky in the morning and every sunset red
