Week 14a - Bye Bye Sailboat Thoughts (230401)

from Song A Week, Vol. 8 by James Tristan Redding

about

Co-written with Little Lore / Tricia Duffy.

lyrics

A ship is made to yearn for the sea
That’s bittersweet for a ship builder like me
Takes a lifetime bein’ built to last
It untethers pretty fast

Bye bye sailboat thoughts
Bye bye ocean dreams
One of us is on our way
And it ain’t me

Chase that horizon
With everything you got
I’ll be right here sayin’
Bye bye sailboat thoughts

Waited for today since I nailed the first nail
From drawin’ up the plans to liftin’ up the sails
All that sweat and blood the salty tears I cried
It’ll all be worth it when you hit the tide
