about

This song was inspired by the short story titled "The Blue Jar" by Isak Dinesen.

lyrics

I set my sails on deep blue water
looking for love long lost.
My heart floats on each wave, every beat
every hope in my heart is tossed.

Skyward looking over under
water all around
searching, yearning, aching for my love,
my solid ground.

I stare into the depths in search
of eyes of cobalt blue.
Your empty gaze, my empty days
are spent in search of you.

Skyward looking over under
water all around
searching, yearning, aching for my love,
my solid ground.

Patience now is all I have
A virtue sweet and true
To think of all that's ever been
Some day comes back to you.

I set my sails on deep blue water
looking for love long lost.
My heart floats on each wave, every beat
every hope in my heart is tossed.

Skyward looking under over
water all around
immersed in thoughts of deep blue longing
never to be found.
