I Drank The Radiance

Frenchman's Cay - ©2013 -  Written as an homage to Gary Brooker and Procol Harum). Altho the lyrics employ a nautical theme, the song is written as an allegory about finding my way back to music in 2010 and the result of my attempt at finding acceptance by the local music scene. I have added new guitar work to the bridge. As of 04/27/25, I have now re-mixed and re-mastered this tune.
All the best,

Verse
He set the sails, Pushed out to sea
Never thinking, What end there would be
Though he was certain, That he'd find his way home
Dragging anchor, He was sorely alone
Chorus
Come stormy seas, Come take me away
Let me be unbroken, Until my dyin' day
Verse
Born a sailor, Then drifted away
Awakened by fate, The Blue calling his name
Fair winds surrounded him, Pushed him port to port
From White Bay to Spanish Town, Then back to the north
Chorus
Verse
Skies grew dark and threatening, From the north it did blow
There was no confusion, On which course he would go
Miles off his heading, It's any port in a storm
Finding shelter on Frenchman's Cay, He tried to keep himself warm
Chorus
Verse
Fear filled the brewhouse, The locals tied him fast
No words were spoken, Him hanging from the mast
Look back and wonder, Where the wonder has gone
They cut the ropes upon the tide, Lost to the sea all along
Chorus
