about

More sea. I used to dingy sail as a child, with my Cairn Terrier, Stuart, on the south coast in Mudeford Harbour, Christchurch. He was a brilliant, scruffy old sea-dog and loved swimming, despite the usual cold sea. On London winter walks, I'd have to break the lake ice for him to enthusiastically plunge in.

This song is set somewhere a little warmer – perhaps on the Mediterranean or Caribbean. I deliberately set the words in an unusual metre – the last strong word of each line falls on the 'weak beat', syncopated.

lyrics

She wakes in his arms,
With night more than a dream.
The sun is liquid gold,
Melting the dawn.
Love with a breeze,
Tempting the seas.

Deck sways, caravel
Sails bleached, quiver with life.
Morning is breathing too,
Drinking the mist.

Thrill me slowly,
East wind, sultry,
It’s pure enchantment – as

He pours coconut milk
And sings smoother than silk.
They know that love should be
Rousing the wind and the sea.
