about

A song for my partner Anne-Marie Allen- thank you for bringing my life to life. I love you.

lyrics

Maps and maverick magnets-
We learn to discard 'em all,
Stay gentle with the faithful,
Spare a prayer for directions Cardinal;

It's Eden in my cabin, port through starboard,
There's a flower in every corner;
I kept the jars where you made homes for ladybirds,
The nights are getting warmer

Ch 1: Across the swell, the stars run stark,
The needle twists and dives;
The shore's unsure, the sea is dark,
But you are soft harbour, and my loving tide!
And you lift me high, high, high, so high

Your absence leaves me empty, wilting plenty,
Here I share the crow's subsistence;
I'm scrapping with my shadow, running shallow,
And I'm battling your distance;

Weightlessly, the day will roll the passage,
And England will accost you;
The wind will raise your hair into a black star,
The mornings rise across you

Ch 2: And if you stray upon your path,
I know you'll find your tribe
Amid the oak and beech and ash,
'Cos you are soft harbour and my loving tide!
And you lift me high, high, high, so high

We shall watch the sun dance, draw the curtains,
Waking, I will trace the light
To the history of laughter in your eyes,
I'll rest in your arms by night

Windward, we'll go wandering by the Beacons,
Do the Dales in gales, and then,
Sailing over mountains in your car,
We'll be singing on the road again.

Ch 1
