about

I traveled many miles with this beautiful Waterboys song with Mike Scott's glorious lyrics firing my imagination back in the late 1980s... and I decided to record it late one night a few months ago as one of two bonus track for the CD version of my Winter Sun EP.... an EP of sea-themed songs.... finally making it available here too!

lyrics

This Is The Sea (Mike Scott)

These things you keep
You'd better throw them away
You wanna turn your back
On your soulless days
Once you were tethered
And now you are free
Once you were tethered
Well now you are free
That was the river
This is the sea!

Now if you're feelin' weary
If you've been alone too long
Maybe you've been suffering from
A few too many
Plans that have gone wrong
And you're trying to remember
How fine your life used to be
Running around banging your drum
Like it's 1973
Well that was the river
This is the sea!

Now you say you've got trouble
You say you've got pain
You say've got nothing left to believe in
Nothing to hold on to
Nothing to trust
Nothing but chains
You're scouring your conscience
Raking through your memories
Scouring your conscience
Raking through your memories…

Well that was the river
This is the sea...
Behold the sea.
