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
