about

A walk on an empty breaker in Cape Cod contemplating a recent divorce inspired this song about 'moving on' in life – by learning to sing, to love, and to live again.

lyrics

V1 We'd tie the boat and trim the sail,
then cast the anchor in.
We’d watch the tide roll out and back,
jump off the pier to swim.
Cedar boards and iron nails,
make a dock quite strong.
But even things built straight as rail,
can bend and warp with time.
Can't sing when I'm crying,
can't love when I'm lying,
can't live when I'm dying-
there's a time to sing, to love, to live again.

V2-The lobster traps at low tide
lie orphaned in the sand.
But the moon's relentless pull
will cover them again.
The wind and surf
drown out the sound;
I smile, you look away.
Some splintered wood is all that's left
of the dock where we once played. (Ref)

Br-The tide will change everything;
from wooden docks to childhood dreams.
Don't fight that surf you're drowning in,
just ride it till you reach the shore again. (Ref)
