lyrics

“Nothing to say now
Let the words be yours
I’m done with mine”
– John Barlow, Cassidy

“In a solitude of the sea. . . cold currents
thrid and turn to rhythmic tidal lyres.”
– Thomas Hardy, The Convergence of the Twain

“She hadna sail’d a league, a league,
a league but barely three,
Till grim, grim grew his countenance
and gurly grew the sea.”
The Dæmon Lover

“I’d love to go drowning
and to stay, and to stay
But the ocean doesn’t want me today. . .
A rip tide is raging
And the life guard is away
But the ocean doesn’t want me today
The ocean doesn’t want me today."
– Tom Waits, The Ocean Doesn’t Want Me

“But God has a few of us whom he whispers in the ear;
the rest may reason and welcome; ‘tis we musicians know.”
– Robert Browning, Abt Vogler xi
