Story behind the song
Every life is a journey. Some longer than others. Some too short. Sometimes we are left waving at an empty sea. The waves were recorded on a TDK D90 cassette on my pal Dale Rowe's portable dictating machine on a beach on Islay, April 1996. The things you can hold onto... This is version #17. Had to mess about with it a lot to get things sounding the way we wanted. We're not gonna touch it anymore.
Lyrics
Forever blows the weary wind Far across a timeless sea Forever falls a shining star Through the night's eternity Waves are crashing On a rocky point The tide is running Sailing away, sailing away, sailing away Come with me down to the sea And hold my hand and wait with me We'll try to find what's left behind Abandoned on the shining strand A boat is leaving The lonely shore The wind is rising Sailing away, sailing away, sailing away A journey ends Another starts To a lost horizon Sailing away, sailing away, sailing away
