LOOKING PAST THE SEA(straight at the grandfather/longcase/tallcase clocks)  (April 2005)
I'm looking past the sea up to the sky,
knowing where I'll be by and by.
Soon I'll be back home and maybe sitting all alone.
Better looking past the sea up to the sky

I'd rather flick some pebbles on the shore,
where worries don't hang round me anymore.
When I'm walking on the sand,well I'm in the promised land,
I can look past the sea up to the sky.

Sometimes my eyes they open wide,
just to see the running of the tide.
That's when I search inside of me,and know I'll always want to be,
looking past the sea up to the sky.
