Prevailing Wind

Prevailing Wind Reading between the lines Sketching the fever of a swollen tide The endless meaning of a mindful time Picking up the stones of the smoothest kind And then it begins Beyond the veil of original sin Reaching out to sea Carried on a prevailing wind And so you have your say That the proof's the truth in its own sweet way The bluest blue carries you away Back to where you grow And so it begins Beyond the pale you take it in Dream of the sea and foreign shores on a prevailing wind You didn't see the signs Painting a picture of another time Drawing deeply from a tainted vine Kicking up the dust on The Poppy Line And so it begins Beyond an age of original sin Setting out to sea Carried on a prevailing wind A recent trip to the coast with friends brought out lots of ideas, laughing, debating, drinking, sketching, singing and shaking... This is my musical sketch written on site and multitracked back in my home studio. Usual credits: dB on vocals, guitar, bass, keyboards, percussion... My photo shows a sunny view of the defensive groynes along the beach at Mundesley in North Norfolk looking east towards Hapisburgh and its red and white striped lighthouse.
