“Limitless and immortal, the waters are the beginning and end of all things on earth.” 
– Heinrich Zimmer

My first ever song at the age of 17, composed in 1971 with a great deal of help from John Masefield, Poet Laureate from 1930 until 1967, whose poem I borrowed. The chorus, though, is from an old sea shanty called "Haul Away Joe". The music is mine however, utilizing all the few chords I had recently learnt that year, having just taken up the guitar. The way it's performed here, is very different to the way I played and sang it in 1972.

lyrics
‘Way haul away, the good ship now is rollin’ (Jimmy!)
‘Way haul away, we’ll haul away Joe!

I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea's face and a grey dawn breaking.

‘Way haul away, we’ll haul away Joe!

I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.

‘Way haul away, we’ll haul away Joe!

I must go down to the seas again to the vagrant gypsy life.
To the gull's way and the whale's way where the wind's like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over.

‘Way haul away, we’ll haul away Joe!

‘Way, haul away, we’ll haul for better weather, (Jimmy!)
‘Way, haul away, we’ll haul away, Joe

I like to synthesise sounds and effects to sound like real instruments. In this track I created a kind of didgeri sound. I hope you like it
UPDATE: 1 year later, someone called Adrian Watson with SoundCloud account ++4dz++  https://on.soundcloud.com/xkcJ has downloaded this track and then uploaded it as To The End, pretending he created it using loops from GarageBand. Not Cool. He deleted it when challenged

My dreams are lucid, life-like and often filled with music. Sometimes, when I wake, I can remember the music from my dreams and try to recreate some of it.
