From the recording Trials and Tribulations
Lyrics
In the mist of the morning light reflecting from the waves
A quiet chill surrounds the calm before the storm
The ripples wash away, receding from the shore
The clouds come rolling in, and I’m alone
Drenched and cold the rain descends on me
I’m so far from my home
Frightened that I’m lost at sea
I set a course unknown
Pressure demanding me to contemplate
This feeling in my heart
Heed the proclivity to drift away,
Or turn around and ride the wave?
Ripped and torn, the skiff is still afloat
Bless and praise the Lord
All it lacks is one more swell
To throw me overboard
Pressure demanding me to contemplate
This feeling in my heart
Heed the proclivity to drift away,
And sink into the grey?
The storm is gone, and I’m alone
Wondering where to go
I see the shore ahead of me
I’ll ride the wave back home
Pressure demanding me to contemplate
This feeling in my heart
Heed the proclivity to drift away,
Or turn around and ride the wave?
