Just back from a family trip to the coast of B.C. So good to see the rest of my family. The ocean cast its spell on me again. I stand staring at it trying to breathe enough of it into me that I can recall it when I’m back on the prairies. When I was a teenager, I worked on Keats Island at camp and first heard this song while surrounded by the sea. I hope you enjoy it.

Downstream by Supertramp

Took a boat Sunday, down by the sea
It just felt so nice, you and me
We didn’t have a problem or a care
And all around was silence, everywhere.
You are the reason I was born
Be with you through all seasons
I’ll always hear you when call
We’ll keep the love light shining
Through each night and day
A lonely life behind me
Oh, what a change you’ve made
So down here by the ocean we will stay
Went through a lot of changes
Turned a lot of pages
When I took a boat Sunday.
To know you as I know you now
That is all I need
And we will get along somehow
If we both believe
So down here on the ocean, we will stay
Went through a lot of changes
Turned a lot of pages
When I took a boat Sunday.
