My first ever cell phone recording submission. Zero time these days. Hail mary done in half an hour from start to finish.
lyrics
It’s a long way to go
Down to the sea
Where the fairies crow
They carry me
Cast off the white cliffs
A flight to the rest
On zephyrs I drift
Life sorely blessed
Scatter me out on the Summertime breeze
Somewhere with ocean and wild cedar trees
No headstones, no rock, no tomb to hold me
Kiss your goodbyes on the songs of the sea
This ain’t a sad song
It’s a simple request
When sending me home
Know I’ve been blessed
Though I’ve regrets
They pale to compare
To the life that I’ve lived
Little worse for wear
No eulogies
No weeping for me
Just laughing and song
A right jubilee
Yeah, maybe I’m gone
But you’re all still here
You ain’t alone
Ain’t nothin’ to fear
Scatter me out on the Summertime breeze
Somewhere with ocean and wild cedar trees
No headstones, no rock, no tomb to hold me
Kiss your goodbyes on the songs of the sea
