A moving tribute to a sailor dad, esp. ones like Cap'n Bob Paige and Jimmy Buffett's dad (I think), who are stricken with Alzheimers: "The wind went away in 1995." Jimmy Buffett's dad died in 2003.
Enduring echoes call out from his past
Time ain't for savin' - no, time's not for that
Chasing false echoes like a lost legionnaire
He waltzes on memories while he fades like a flare
R.I.P. Cap'n Bob Paige, 1925 - 2011. Love you, Dad
This is the story of our fathers that worked day and night to make sure we were secured and taught us how to battle for ourselves when we become responsible for ourselves. The lyrics are very very deep and the melody is breathtaking! I think this is the best of Jimmy Buffet's repertoire and also maybe the best in the folk songs series!
I'm a very big Jimmy fan, was raised on him, saw him back on this tour when I was only 6 years old. This song takes me back to my childhood everytime... Very emotional song for me, one of his best.
one of the greatest buffett song
s of all times, we need ask him to play it at his concerts

My favorite Jimmy Buffet song, really touches my heart listening to it. You can hear how much he loves his father. I'm glad I finally found it again.
