Sandy Cove |
| Out by Sandy Cove |
| I thought about my life |
| A lot about my children |
| And a lot about my wife |
| About my Mom’s old accordion |
| And all the other things I’ve lost |
| Like grandpa’s ship in a bottle |
| And I wondered what it would costs |
| Cause I would pay a sultan’s ransom |
| If only I could place |
| The ship back in the bottle |
| Or see my mother’s face |
| Out by Sandy Cove |
| Starting on a song |
| I knew I’d never finish |
| Cause nobody lives that long |
| So many things unfinished |
| Before they are begun |
| Like grandpa’s ship in a bottle |
| We’ll sail out to oblivion |
| And where does all the love we lose go? |
| It seems like such a crime |
| It’s like grandpa’s ship in a bottle |
| It disappears in time |
| If I could do no work |
| There’d be some changes made |
| I’d paint with vibrant colors |
| And I’d stay out of the shade |
| I’d make everybody happy |
| With the lessons I have learned |
| I might not have found the joy in life |
| But I’d leave no stone unturned |
| I’d leave no stone unturned |
| Out by Sandy Cove |
| Just a mile beyond the strand |
| There stands an ancient tower |
| On a rocky point of land |
| I feel just like that tower |
| Like nothing lives inside of me |
| And I don’t know why I’m empty |
| Or why I’m standing by this sea |
| But I got cracks in all my mortar |
| I got holes in all my bricks |
| And it’s like grandpa’s ship in a bottle |
| It’s something I can’t fix |
| All my fancy tricks |
| It’s something I can’t fix |
