Tamer of Tides 

As part of the one of the Talent is Timeless songwriting workshops, I was paired with lovely lady from County Antrim, by the name of Clare. We were tasked with exchanging our ideas for a song on the theme of “Setting Sail”. Clare’s ideas centred upon a parent watching their young child and considering the journey of life that awaited them. The parent knows their child has to set sail on their adventure and they, the parent, has to trust, love and believe their child will have fair winds in their sails.
Tamer of Tides
As I watch your brave blue eyes
Gaze far into the cloud-filled skies
I know, in my heart
You will long to sail away
As I watch your dream-filled sleep
I fear the waters you must travel will be deep
But I know in my heart
You will long to sail away, sail away.
And I would be the tamer of your tides
And I would be your compass and your guide
I can give no more
As you sail from this safe shore
But my love, forever by your side
Forever by your side.
As I watch you leave on hope-filled seas
I trust in your spirit and believe
In the strength of your heart
As you sail away, sail away.
And I would be the tamer of your tides
And I would be your compass and your guide
I can give no more
As you sail from this safe shore
But my love, forever by your side
Forever by your side
