"Restless" was the third track released by The Good Years ( David Booth, Steven Mears and Andy Trill) - part of an ongoing project to put together an album.
lyrics
Off to the end, the last noble steps
Weather-beaten friends to this watching-man
Layers of blue, white, grey, mauve
bring so many thoughts as waves carry salt
distant foam crashing on the rocks
crushing any thought of calm out there
I could stare out for hours
at this restless sea
I could stare out for hours
as the ocean tosses my dreams around like the white trip boats in
the Sound
Surface swarm spreads, with the gusts close-in
Living on this edge must always be like this
Buoys cling on telling lies of permanence
Holding-fast for now , holding on for now
I could stare out for hours
at this restless sea
I could stare out for hours
as the ocean tosses my dreams around like the white trip boats in
the Sound
Off to the end, the last noble steps
Living on this edge must always be like this
I could stare out for hours
at this restless sea
I could stare out for hours
at this restless sea
I could stare out for hours
at this restless sea
I could stare out for hours
as the ocean tosses my dreams around like the white trip boats in
the Sound
