Story behind the song
Sort of a beta release, especially the song needs a redo
Lyrics
6 o'clock in the morning the old man gets up from his bed Shaves his face, puts on his clothes wash the last sleep from his eyes A cup of black coffee with yesterdays paper seagulls crying outside Steps out on the porch leans back in a chair and looking out over the bay Sun rising in the east for the old man by the sea A brand new day is born for the old man and the sea Once he was a proud fisherman with a boat of his own A self made man with confidence with the fortune to feed his kids He'd sail out in the morning come back home late at night Life was tough but so was he in a world where the strong survive Today the fish is gone to hell and the fishing boats as wel lThe old mans boat is towed to land rotting away with all memories inside Today tourists roam the streets of what once was a calm fishing town Fishermen fade away one by one leaving for other places to cast their nets... Old mans wife died years ago and his kids are gone away Sometimes it feels like God almighty has forgotten me and left me here He stuffs his pipe, takes a drag lets the smoke dance away in the air Sun sets silently among the trees casting shadows over the bay Sun goes down in the west for the old man by the sea Another day is to an end for the old man and the sea...
