Inspiration: losing a job I didn't like much anyway.
Brian and I sang and played this live at our wedding in Feb. 2020.
lyrics
Where we headin’ now..to the open ocean
How do we get by on just our wits?
You hand me an oar, and I can dip in
To the floating blue, blue, blue, blue, sea
To the floating blue, blue, blue, blue, blue sea
Island up ahead, mountains rising
Water falling down the black stone cliff
We put up a sail made from a slip of mine
Floating through the blue, blue, blue, blue, sea
Floating through the blue, blue, blue, blue, blue sea………….yeah
Ba da da…
Little Buttercup, what will become of us
If we run out of provisions?
I don’t know, I don’t know
I don’t know—but I know we’ll still have our love
Our love
We make it to the shore and though we’re weary
You play a small guitar and I sing to the sea
Mango juice is sweet on your lips
So close to the blue, blue, blue, blue sea
So close to the blue, blue, blue, blue, blue sea………….yeah
Ba ba da…
You unroll the map saved in a leather pouch
I take out the spade with an oak handle
Today may be the day we find our treasure
Buried near the blue, blue, blue, blue, sea
Buried near the blue, blue, blue, blue, sea
Buried near the blue, blue, blue, blue, sea
Ba ba da…

I have been writing songs most of my life. A good bit of recording and performing too. Money comes and goes, but the muse is
precious and timeless. I pray that my songs help people through darkness as well as celebrate the light. This music is a village and I am not alone. I am deeply grateful to the many people who have helped me birth these songs in so many ways. You are the Love!...more
