Song of the Sea

Found myself humming Dan Fogelberg’s Song of the Sea. The subconscious is saying it might be time to go wandering again.

Broken clouds along the blue horizon
The sun is setting and the wind is dying down
Outward bound, there is music all around
Can you hear it, it’s the, the song of the sea?

Soundings taken at the edge of darkness
The widest silences the heart can ever hear
You can steer to the stars along your lee
Set your bearings to the, the song of the sea

Oh, and the song is as ancient as the days
And the winds upon the waves
Let it carry you away, so far away
(Aaa)

Trim my sails to greet the breakin’ morning
Past the headlands to the rolling open sea
An’ it comes to me, I have never felt so free
As when I’m listening to the, the song of the sea

Oh and the song is as ancient as the days
And the winds upon the waves
Let it carry me away, so far away

Some were meant to watch the world from windows
And never look beyond the road beneath their feet
But for me, I was always meant to be
One forever chasing the song of the sea
The song of the sea

I Miss My Piano

You know, I really love playing the piano. When we sold the house, I lent the piano to close friends Maria and Fougere. However, a few months ago they moved to Africa. Now the piano resides in our (climate controlled) storage unit in Maryland. The piano is fine. I’m just not. I really need to buy a keyboard. David is more lucky in that he plays a smaller instrument (Clarinet) and it stows away easily here on the boat. He also whistles amazingly well. Lucky guy. We’re both interested in picking up a guitar so that may be my “new” instrument. David says he’s getting tired of my out-of-tune singing…must find an instrument! LOL.
