about

The first song I ever wrote on my Collings D2H.
An unusual tuning....I don't remember what it was exactly but it is a very very simple tune to play. It was some kind of variant on drop-D...

lyrics

The sound of the ocean is to me as a sweet lullaby
And nothing I've heard on dry land can compare
My sleep is a deep one and as trouble-free as you might find
As comforting as the touch of your hair

But nothing compares to the feeling
And nothing else touches my soul
Like a tall ship that carries me back to your arms and my home

The sun it is burning, oh at a Billion degrees
And nothing but time could ever quench its flame
And as the earth's turning a Million stars rise in the East
And they'll be my guide for I know them by name

We let go the anchor that will keep us in port for a time
We see a strange town and its shoreline for a night
When cargo is loaded its back to the ocean we love
We're circled by dolphins and seabirds above
