Recorded via two Channel (Voice+guitar) Condenser r microphone on ableton live .

Lyrics :


where the waves reach for the shore

Where the river meets the sea 
That's where im gonna be
that where I’ll be evermore
where the waves reach for the shore

Band played on Remembrance day parade
bent backs are marching, what souls were saved?
But I will sleep and March No more
Where the waves reach for the shore

The Rain comes down to wash away the tears
They Lay a wreathe every year
And the Parades march on into history
One day none will remain who remember me

Where the River, Meets the sea
a turn downed corner of a school book a lesson in history
a shallow youth stares out the window bored
out to where the waves reach for the shore.

(ORPIN1994)
