lyrics

LOST AT SEA
BY MIKE O’ROURKE


WHERE CAN I GO WITH MY HEAD IN HANDS ?
IN A WORLD FOREVER TURNING
WHERE CAN I GO TO A LOVE LOST FLAME ?
FEELING THE GUILT DOUBTING MY FAME

I NEVER KNEW AS A YOUNGER MAN
WITH A PASSION STRONGLY BURNING
I NEVER KNEW IT WAS FLEETING MIGHT
OPEN MY EYES A STARLESS NIGHT

LOST AT SEA I’M LOST AT SEA
I HAD THE ANSWER ONCE BUT THAT WAS LONG AGO
NOW I’LL ALWAYS BE
LOST AT SEA.

TENDING THE CHORES OF THE RESTLESS WAVES
SUCH AN ENDLESS VAST HORIZON
MENDING THE WOUNDS OF FORGOTTEN DAYS
DISTANT THOUGHTS QUESTIONS RAISED

IS THERE A SONG FROM THE CHOIRS ROLE ?
DO THEY CELEBRATE MY VICTORIES ?
IS THERE A PLAN CAN THEY MAKE A CHOICE ?
MISSING MY LEAD HEARING MY VOICE

LOST AT SEA SO LOST AT SEA
I HAD THE ANSWER ONCE BUT THAT WAS LONG AGO
NOW I’LL ALWAYS BE
LOST AT SEA

A BRAVE AND FIGHTING MAN HE LED OUR NATION STRONG
HELD OFF THE FOREIGN FORCES FIGHTING FOR SO LONG
HE WAS THE KING OF ALL THE STORMY WINDY SEAS
HE HAD THE PRETTY MAIDENS FALLING TO THEIR KNEES
THEN ONE DAY LOST HIS COURSE AND COULDN’T FIND HIS CHART
HE FELL FROM GLORY AND HE BROKE HIS LOVERS HEART

WHERE IS THE WORD DO THEY SPEAK MY NAME ?
AM I GONE AND ALL FORGOTTEN ?
WHERE IS THE LIGHT SHINING FAR ASTERN ?
NO REGRET NO RETURN

LOST AT SEA I’M LOST AT SEA
LOST AT SEA

Repeat Bridge

HIS AGING FOLLOWERS WHO FOUND HIM OH SO BRAVE
THEY’RE GROWING FEWER AND THEY’RE FALLING IN THEY’RE GRAVE
AROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND THE WORLD THE OCEAN FLOWS
OUT ON THE "SEA OF TUNES" HIS FATE WELL NO MAN KNOWS

(Changing Of The Watch)

Musician of the 60's. All the Favorite records that we grew up with was my classroom. That's me with my 1966 Jazzmaster, great guitar until I threw it off stage imitating Pete Townshend at a local dance.

Was in several bands into the late 60's, two, with keyboardist Gary Griffin, yes Gary Griffin. ... more
