As I Sail Away

Recorded, edited and uploaded using an iPhone, iPod Touch and a Sony ECM-AW3 Bluetooth mic, along with the Vocalive and ReelDirector apps. The two-pound "studio," including a 66" tripod, fits in the pocket of my gig bag. The terz guitar itself weighs just over two pounds. I am such a lightweight.

[G]Some nights before I go to [D]sleep
[G]I kiss your skin to see you [D]smile
[G]I taste an ocean of [D]love
[G]I smell the land upon your [D]breath

And [C]as [G]I sail [D]away
I [C]pray [G]for my [D]return
But [C]if the gods should [G]keep me
[C]Far out on the [G]sea
[C]Strand me on some [G]lonely distant [D]isle
I'll [C]sit and [G]breathe the ocean [D]air
[C]Until I [D]sense you on the [G]breeze


Sometimes, I listen to your heart
At night before I go to sleep
I hear the rhythm of your soul
The steady waves above the deep

And as I sail away
I pray for my return
But if the gods should keep me
Far out on the blue
strand me on some lonely distant isle
I'll sit and listen to the waves
Knowing that I'll come home to you
