Lyrics
10. Hook and Eye©
Day is dawning, lightness is calling, such a lovely haze,
But while I’m lolling, rains begin falling, washing me away.
What a way to start the day: waking to goodbye.
So damn hard to walk away when you’re hook and eye.
Cast upon a rocky shore, I’ve lost my weather eye.
Cut and rimed, I spend all my time just watching birds fly high.
What a way to start the day: waking to goodbye.
So damn hard to walk away when you’re hook and eye.
Lick your wounds, sing your tunes, encapsulate your soul.
Vessels float reaching the coast; you’re almost past the shoals.
Tacking daily maybe I’m crazy asking for some more,
but I’ve been lost and I have learned love hugs a rugged shore.
What a way to start the day waking to goodbye.
Never can you sail away, when you’re hook and eye.
Hook and eye…
Love hugs a rugged shore
Hook and eye…
You always ask for more
When you’re hook and eye…
