A Trick of the Sea - Piano Magic

Heading south so I can go north

Guided by birds but drifting off-course

Read the tide-table before starting out

But 30 years old with chapters torn out

You, waking up from a dream of the sea

Safe in the harbour from sailors like me

You, in the kitchen, waiting on tea

Whilst I lose the compass to a trick of the sea

Bearing east so I can blow west

Guided by wreckage of the marie celeste

Read sombrero fallout whilst waiting for calm

Carved chapter 13 in script on my arm

You, waking up from a dream of the sea

Safe in the harbour from sailors like me

You, in the kitchen, waiting on tea

Whilst I lose the compass to a trick of the sea
