The security of hope,
stretches different ways,
think I’ll always cope,
will go home soon,
in a sun that flays,
pockmarked yellow stones,
down the Boston slopes,
I can see kids play,
jumping harbour ropes,
the cool evening dew,
is when my debts are paid,
nothing surprised or smooth,
do my folks know,
think I'm down on holiday,
indifferent stars unfold,
night clouds race the moon,
hear my songs of praise,
ride out like a schooner,
take me faraway.

What's wrong with dreaming,
let horizons increase,
our love of the sea,
like luck or a number,
it brightens our features,
when other stuff stumbles,
time for us to seize,
we don't need a reason,
set our green evenings,
note in our slumbers,
a desire to believe,
get rid of the bummers,
life is a tease,
so lets get ourselves free,
rest at our ease,
Oceans are not encumbered,
why should we be,
look at them and wonder,
what about me ?

Who will tend our bones,
listening to the rain,
does a river run alone,
let songs and poems ring,
through suburban stations,
we don't owe a thing,
herring gulls that soar,
see them all again,
when we climb aboard,
their cry a broken thing,
as the seasons change,
train lines track the sea,
swore we’d never blow,
just to change our ways,
but always time you know,
to struggle with everything,
we'll always find a way,
drain all our softenings,
keep us on the rails.

What keeps you moving,
a crescent moon at Easter,
aan oar that fits a groove,
an arc of scurried waves,
does it set you free,
now they know your trade,
A flight to distant water,
forget troubled seasons,
no matter how much laughter,
you hear the morning play,
firmly north on Ferry's,
but consider what you say,
every act of loving,
guarantees no sweetness,
sometimes it's very rough,
please don't run away,
you'll die without coffee,
praise each dancing day,
be what you want to be. .

You shouldn’t kiss,
this cabal of spirits,
Oceans dance on your lips,
not like those at home,
whose bones like to sit,
scared to be alone,
you’ll engage or quit,
taken to your limits,
when that fever hits,
bolstered by unending hope,
even love gets it,
happiness in climbing up,
tides turn at the instant,
venture on a cargo ship,
laugh at middle distance,
never one to misanthrope,
watch the water glimmer,
soon you'll find a note,
moon always distant.

She knows she's been around,
an unbroken sky,
leaves many a naked mound,
a rose clustered tree,
while others cry,
she makes her great leap,
a kid from our town,
she promises to fly,
break ambition all bounds,
although born and weaned,
and raised by signs,
she misses yellow fields,
even with her crown,
city lights bring her back,
to lowing cattle sound,
knows her homely dream,
still asks for reasons why,
kisa and fireside scenes,
make her want to die.

What if the stars are great,
my lover slowly fades,
lately gone from this terrain,
doesn't like my happy tone,
the walls are limpid grey,
my head is full od stones,
look at my hands shake,
it’s difficult to keep going,
when a voice gives way,
the kids have grasped the bone,
confined within their days,
furious now he’s gone,
the moon is light as cake,
the seasons roll away,
I’ll see them happy again,
they ride the roller coaster,
say he's now a flake,
I laugh and know I'll cope,
but each night pray.
