Track 01 from the album: 'Conviction and Authority'

 Oceans

V.1

If she’s an island there’s a reef around

Upon which many ships have run aground

Ruined hulls that once were sound

On her beaches they abound

V.2

‘Mongst their survivors you can number me

As one who won't give up so easily

On the floodplain I sift through debris

Thrown up by the sea

C.

I still remember my ship crashing through

The waves that hid the depths of oceans blue

I still remember what I meant to do

I still remember you …

V.3

If only you could find this place

You could laugh at me, right in my face

But that’s a pleasure won’t reward the chase

Conducted at a youthful pace

C.

I still remember my ship crashing through

The waves that hid the depths of oceans blue

I still remember what I meant to do

I still remember you …

V.4

Life pulls us all to different destinies

Love and action, torpor and disease

Till such time and with such ease

She cuts that thread of memories
