Story Behind the Song
Like all my songs this went through several iterations as I learned how to use my recording gear. It started out in a different key with a more acoustic feel. The key didn't work vocally and I left it for about a year. On night I sat down with My yamaha SG which has a whammy bar and changed the key, it came together almost immediately. I kept the original drums and re recorded every thing else.
Lyrics
Moorings
Are you ready to repent
all your sins so heaven sent,
yesterday's promises are bent,
ah but maybe they wont even
make a dent, make a dent
I've seen you naked and ecstatic,
but it wasn't really true,
like your outline in the sunlight,
it was only half of you.
Chorus
I know your moorings have slipped,
and your ship it is drifting free,
on an endless sea, you rock uneasily
further and further away it seems
In the journal of your time,
Is writ another line,
but you can't decipher a word,
strange symbols lying trampled in the dirt
How do we manage all this time,
between what's ours what's yours and what's mine,
it slips through our fingers like the dust,
but it shapes the whole of us
