about

Written by Keith Ludekens
Keith brought this to a band jam one night.
Lyrics in searching of a musical tapestry in which to sit.

The Minor banjo introduction sent us into a somewhat seafaring direction.

lyrics

I'm what you' call a misdirection
I'm just havin me a ball
But true north comes with your discretion
My line is straighter after all

Shifting sand beside the water
Shifting sand before the breeze
But solid rock stands against the weather
Keeps me on my feet not on my knees

Hey when your head is in the sky
Sometimes it takes someone
to look you in the eye
When life's reality is just too hard to do
May the time and tide bring me
safely home to you

Oceans swirling in the winter
Seas so rough we can't get through
But your hand rests upon the tiller
Sun is warm and skies are blue
