Pippa Cushing helped me with the tune of this song. Hopefully you'll be able to hear it live sometime soon!
Farewell my cloud,
you've been too good to me I know.
It’s been so long
since I could see into your mind.
I wish the wind would call the canvas,
and the sails bear me on.
The day of homecoming is lost,
and the bard forgot my song.
And the sails bear me on.
I took a whitecap for my lover,
and a sea breeze for my friend.
We went away from heavy land
to horizon’s ragged bend.
And the sails bear me on.
My lover left these stormy kisses
strewn across my back.
The salt and sun put dreams upon me,
and the swell’s as blue as black.
And the sails bear me on,
bear me on.
