about

A love song to the sea and it's restorative powers. Written in 30 minutes while looking out over Swansea Bay on the first day of my return there after 25 years away.

lyrics

Blow me home

In the head-rush of the west wind
And the skin-kiss of the sun
In the gut-churn of the breakers
And the soul-pull of the moon
In the ear-lick of the curlew
And the tongue-tie of the gull
In the nerve-ease of the shadows
And the face-slap of the squall
Blow, blow sou’wester, Blow, blow me home.
Blow, blow sou’wester, Blow, blow me home.
In the mood-hiss of the blown sand
And the heart-tug of the tide
In the brain-bath of the shimmer
And the thought-hush of the cloud
In the ball-grasp of the water
And the breath-gasp of the gale
In the faith-doubt of this heaven
And the joy-lift of the swell (rpt chorus)
In the eye-fizz of the white-wake
And the mind-thud of the sail
In the death-fall of the feather
And the birth-tick of the quill
In the love-sigh of the sunset
And the hope-swell of the dawn
Is the poet, and the lyric
Of the murdered heart, reborn.
Rpt. chorus.

Always trying to look at life, even the grotesques and gargoyles of the world, with humour, he hopes to bring about regime change, revolution, and the salvation of nature by scribbling a few words and then singing or reciting them into that new fangled gramaphone contraption.
