Name: sailboat
Duration: P00H06M02S
Description: July 2020 under covid lockdown. I was staring out at the lake where normally there are all kinds of boats and sailboats going by. I noted a lonely sailboat for a few days every day and feeling a bit trapped I wished it would just come and take me away. Birth of a song. Maybe one of the more energetic songs I have done, a bit popish, what ever.

lyrics

there's a sailboat on the horizon
the wind is blowing it away
how i wish it would come meet me
how i'd love to sail away

there's a train leaving the station
and i am not all aboard
I've got a ticket to go nowhere
that is all i could afford

there's a rocket on the launch pad
it is aiming at the moon
how i'd love to hitch a ride there
just can't get away, can't get away too soon
