lyrics ---------- Now the blue, the blue is calling And my heart, the current carries on Though I’ll be leaving when morning paints you I will not be gone Now the blue, the blue is calling And my heart, the current carries on Though I’ll be leaving when morning paints you I will not be gone If you go down to the harbour And you find a place amongst the trees You may hear a silent Music That’s where I will be.

lyrics ---------- It’s getting late and I can’t stay I’m going back, back to my ocean daze I find it hard, but that’s okay I’m going back, back down to yesterday And baby, I can’t be your medicine I’ve got to sleep alone tonight Wake up to find the rain is gone Did it fall all night? I’m holding on but something’s changed I’m going back, back down to rearrange Oh baby, I can’t be your medicine I’ve got to sleep alone tonight Wake up to find the rain is gone Did it fall all night? Oh well, I can’t be your medicine I’ve got to sleep alone tonight Wake up to find the rain is gone Did it fall? Did it change my world at all? Did it fall? Did it change my world at all? Did it fall? Did it change my world? It’s getting late and I can’t stay I’m going back, back to my ocean daze
3.	Acapulco 03:55	lyrics	buy track
lyrics ---------- Where is the music? Where is the sea? Between the mountains and the mangroves We could let the world be I hope I see you I hope you came I’ll carry on to Acapulco Where my heart beats in the rain, Carry on to Acapulco Where my heart beats in the rain Take me down to the silence in the sound Take me down Take me down to the silence in the sound Take me down Take me down What did you hide here? What did you fear? Did you get lost behind the prophets Screaming secrets in your ears? I hope I see you I hope you care I’ll carry on to Acapulco Where my heart beats in the air, Carry on to Acapulco Where my heart beats in the air Take me down to the silence in the sound Take me down Take me down to the silence in the sound Take me down Take me down Take me down Where is the music? Where is the sea? Between the mountains and the mangroves We could let the world be I hope I see you I hope you came I’ll carry on to Acapulco Where my heart beats in the rain, I’ll carry on to Acapulco Where my heart beats in the rain I’ll carry on to Acapulco Where my heart beats in the rain Take me down to the silence in the sound Take me down to Acapulco Where my heart beats in the rain Take me down to the silence in the sound Take me down to Acapulco Where my heart beats in the rain
4.	Afterthoughts 03:40	lyrics	buy track
lyrics ---------- Love isn’t dangerous, if you don’t know what to say Just pay at the entrance and it will be okay Tell me again why you want to be alone How can you tell if you never feel at home? Oh, brother, are you listening now? Take the words and make them work somehow I’m not alone, I’m just lying at home in my afterthoughts Here comes the rain and I’m smiling again in these silent knots Where’s the worry now? Wade in the water, you’re feeling over-alive Drink in the cloud now before the sun arrives Let it be real, let it be whole It’s only the struggle that’s weighing down your soul Oh, brother, are you listening now? Take the words and make them work somehow I’m not alone, I’m just lying at home in my afterthoughts Here comes the rain and I’m tied up again in these silent knots Oh oh oh, brother, are you listening now? Take the words and make them work somehow I’m not alone, I’m just lying at home in my afterthoughts Here comes the rain and I’m smiling again in these silent knots Where’s the worry now?
5.	Sea Fever 03:44	lyrics	buy track
lyrics ---------- I must go down to the seas again, To the lonely sea and the sky, And all I ask is a tall ship And a star to steer her by; And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song And the white sail’s shaking, And a grey mist on the sea’s face, And a grey dawn breaking. I must go down to the seas again, For the call of the running tide Is a wild call and a clear call That may not be denied; And all I ask is a windy day With the white clouds flying, And the flung spray and the blown spume, And the sea-gulls crying. I must go down to the seas again, To the vagrant gypsy life, To the gull’s way and the whale’s way Where the wind’s like a whetted knife; And all I ask is a merry yarn From a laughing fellow-rover, And quiet sleep and a sweet dream When the long trick is over.

i would like to spend time on the water
where the islands are held by the sea
settle down with the fisherman's daughter
we will sail until everyone's free
