The Old Man Of The Sea by Andy Horn published on 2018-06-28T09:18:09Z Lyrics: Mark Monument Music, Production, Vocals: Andy Horn In a world beyond the nighttime Sapphire seas meet rolling skies A lonely man sails a wooden boat Throwing out his fishing lines He raised his hand and waved Calling me towards the sea His lips didn’t move at all But in my mind he said to me I’m the father of the ocean I’m the old man of the sea If you want to seek it’s treasures Come and spend the day with me When I dove beneath the swell The smells of childhood filled my nose And the music of my youth played out As I swam towards the boat When I reached the boat he smiled And he offered me his hand The hull was full of holes On the mast an hourglass was full of sand I’m the father of the ocean I’m the old man of the sea If you want to seek it’s treasures Come and spend the day with me We spent the day together Cast our lines and watched the birds We shared a thousand stories But we never spoke a word The hourglass was almost done And as we neared the close of day He slipped beneath the ocean waves Through his tears I heard him say This is the sea of memories my boy The ocean of your soul If you find the hidden treasure Then your heart will not grow old You won’t find it on a chart You can only see it in your dreams But it’s real as stars that light the sky Or the midday sun that beams I’m the father of the ocean I’m the old man of the sea If you want to seek it’s treasures Come and spend the day with me I’m the father of the ocean I’m the old man of the sea Sleep soundly till the sunrise When you wake don’t search for me Genre Folk & Singer-Songwriter Comment by Andy Horn My first co-write with Mark Monument. Really enjoyed to dive into his inspiring lyrics. Started this on an acoustic guitar but couldn't resist to expand the production. Sometimes more is more - right? ;-) 2018-06-28T11:09:45Z
