lyrics

9. Sargasso Sea

Hey hey Jo
Where did all the years go?
I was 35 when I came back alive
Took a long long time
To make this body mine
I’ll Run to the well, wind up in the Leigh
Down to the river that flows so free
The current will take a hold of me
Carry me back To the Sargasso Sea

Hey hey Jo
Come step into the flow
On the edge of sleep
On the surface of the deep
I stood at the head of a long, long line
Every ancestor of mine
Has built this perfect boat for me
To carry me back to the Sargasso Sea

It’s been a long long time
Happy to report I’m doing fine
See I tuned into a secret tone
On a flute made from an albatross bone
It was picked up by the westerly
That will carry me back to the Sargasso Sea

Hey hey Jo
I’m ok just so you know
Another year goes by in the blinking of an eye
Yesterday I crossed the line
Said goodbye to a friend of mine
I’m sad to lose his company
Hope I See him in the Sargasso Sea

I’m going where the shadows cannot reach me
Hear what the ocean has to teach me
For anyone asking after me
Tell em I left for the Sargasso sea

Jacob's sweeping vocals never fail to captivate, delivering many a spine-tingling moment; the fluidity and precision of his finger-picking underpinned by Drinkwater's nimbly rhythmic double bass; the layers of depth a perfect counterfoil. ... more
