about

This track is about someone that becomes convinced that their house is a ship to the point that they stop looking out of the window to see that is not so. The words are their internal dialogue.
It’s an old track revised, originally based on thoughts about how easy it is to lose touch with reality and how isolation can lead to being trapped in your own thoughts. It seems perhaps appropriate at a time when many people have been isolated for weeks or months.

lyrics

"Sometimes this house is like a ship,
my room a ship's cabin,
with the creaking of the timbers and the ebb and flow of light it seems as if I am on some kind of immense sea.
I travel forever.
I hardly ever look out of the window these days, I know the sea is there...it's just waiting there, immense, impassive and primal.
Windblown or becalmed, I travel forever
Windblown, becalmed”
