Fairport Convention - Clear Water lyrics
rate meI want clear water round here to the horizon
I want some calm sea for the journey still ahead
Fair weather as we had for the skyline
A clear sky in the morning and every sunset red
I want clear water as we've seen up to the end
All I want to hear is the ripple from the bound
Let us be at ease now and know our true position
Like a compass to the star, ____________(?)
And as for all the hisery best it left on mitten
You wouldn't believe if we told all we had seen
Comedy and tragedy have come along and _______(?)
They are the broad starboard, the noosing in-between
I want clear water for each new destination
And if the storm should break we will take it in our strive
We rode out the tempest when the cloud and stars were hidden
And the rising of the moon proved to be a fickled guide
And if we hear the timbers creak we'll be given take
For if it's fun outside we know our craft is strong
As long as we can speak with our brains in our _____(?)
The music of the storm is in the garden of the sun
If night hit on the deck or on the fields salt as blank
Like warm tears on my face for the passing of the day
I watched the wailing stars till the light breaks in the east
May the journey never end, let us be at peace
I want clear water when hith of the horizon
May be scared and feathered, but who say we were wrong?
The journeying up to go was the only thing that mattered
While the mood shift thought of here could still be opened by a song
I want clear water round here to the horizon
I want some calm sea for the journey still ahead
Fair weather as we had for the skyline
A clear sky in the morning and every sunset red
