Half a lifetime from the golden years and the tides keep rolling in and in the mighty waves I hear their spirit calling me again. Shaking sails and cetecean and tales of yore unfold. In the weeping wind my ancient friends keep calling out to my soul. Mr brothers deep keep calling my soul. I hear them call when the sloop keel rolls. Over the top I watch them blow my brothers deep are calling my soul. The big wheel kicks and the main sails grow and my brothers deep keep calling my soul. The windsongs play and the sheets fill up and the brine is in my eyes. I'm coming up with a roaring rush the waves fall into the sky. Cross the watery dawn the sun smiles in and the blue-gray turns to gold and my brothers deep and the restless wind keep calling out to my soul. Well I knew all along that we were one where the sea always meets the sky. The wheelhouse rocks on the morning run now we're rolling side by side. Over the top there's an old wild song the sacred love songs of old. When the trick is done and the run moves on they keep singing on in my soul. My brothers deep keep calling my soul. I hear them call when the sloop keel rolls. Over the top I watch them blow my brothers deep are calling my soul. The big wheel kick and the main sails grow and my brothers deep keep calling my soul. © Eric True Ain't doin nothin at all |

enjoyed the deep sea mood tune, the feeling that I was listening to crashing waves bringing pieces of the past forward, to merge with the present  nice write, Eric |

Superbly woven, marvelous flavor to this one. I can almost hear the crew singing their ale song of lamentation. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

Mmmm...I almost forgot how seasick I get as reading this made me yearn for the sound of sails filling with wind... Let my words fall first upon deaf ears before a closed mind... |
