Madman on the Water

(John McGie/Jon Lundquist)


MADMAN ON THE WATER

An old wind ‘s blowing
The old folks knowing
The season ‘s come to change
Drippin’ rain christening 
The loved ones we’re missing
Who take to sea again
White waves wander
Like a snow drift cover
Over the depth below
The bounteous sea
Is a friend to me
A friend that comes and goes

Madman of the water
We sail out to thee
Life is what you offer
Let my man
Come back to me

So kiss a fool
And hope you’ll share the morning
A promise is a wish
When the skies are turning
Look at me
When I tell you that I love you
I hear the Madman of the Water
Call you
