"In Oceans" was the second track released by The Good Years ( David Booth, Steven Mears and Andy Trill) - part of an ongoing project to put together an album.
lyrics
given a fair wind
given a dose of luck
we've many years to come
taking a bearing from the fields
show us where we’re all going wrong
if I'm a singer let me sing you songs
till I drop fast asleep tired but full to the top
this is our life and this our time
it's the simple things done with fire and meaning every word
it's breathing in deeper still
in oceans we can dwell
I'm painting pictures
the only way I know
bringing light and shade
leaving words of warmth and song
if that's alright with you
if I'm a writer I should write more words
till I drop fast asleep tired but full to the top
