about

The third single from my third album 'To The Islands.

lyrics

Albatross
Skims over the waves
Alone with the rain and the wind
That she commands

Sailors say
Don’t be afraid
On fate’s fragile wing
We’ll ride out this storm

Storm, storm

Blown off course
Foam flecked and cold
Home is an old children’s song
We sing ourselves to sleep

Lighthouse knows
All journey’s end
With hope’s hand reaching out
To still each beating breast
