Story behind the song
written on the Tallinn - Helsinki ferry, it's a song about coming home from the sea!
Lyrics
Home From The Sea 170bpm CGF CGF CF CF CG There's a fine fascination for sun on the sea But my thoughts turn to all that is waiting for me Drunkards make merry as I chill on the ferry Sliding the while so serene The sun's nicely tempered by a slow cooling breeze Safe in the stern no I'm taking my ease Sure of the phasing as fears are erasing Making the life that you please DmDmCCGGAmAm DmDmCCGGG G6G7 When swimming through sorrow you beg steal or borrow Look for a liferaft a way to tomorrow Fate can be cute you invest in the future Striving to find a life that will suit ya Seagulls are streaming from land to the starboard Coming in soon I'll be safe in your harbour Longing is potent this transient moment Will soon be resolved wait and see GFCGCC I'm coming back home from the sea ?
