Tides of Time
In 1974 while I was living in Tuscon, Az, I found myself writing a couple of songs about the ocean. I suppose the lack of something makes you think more about it. Some what like Gordon Lightfoot, eh?
A old MP3 is available HERE

Tides of Time
I am a Sailor of the Oceans
Of the Seas of Long Ago
But they are gone as I knew them
Washed away with the Tides of Time
Well gone are the Whalers
And gone are the four masted ships
And gone is the new world
And the perilous trips
CHORUS:
Sail with me on the Mighty Ocean
Sail me as I roam
Sail with me on the Mighty Ocean
Sail me as I search for my home
Now I have follow the north Star
To the Edges of the Earth
Singin' Sons of the Sea,
O the Mighty Sea
Now here are the Airplanes
An' here are the Superboats
An' here are the Diesels
A cuttin' the current with their strokes
[CHORUS]
Time has passed me by
An' left only the sea
To wash away the conflicts
An' bring Peace again
Now the waves they're just a laughin'
A rollin in the sand
Knowin' they are Eternal
Out livin' the finite in Man
Repeat [CHORUS] fade
