The words to sail away

from Iliad by Hugh Wilson & The Blue Phoenix

/

about

The talented Ian Belton, dying of cancer, played on this track with his wife in the studio with us. Will never forget it.

Michael Dolce played the guitar solo.

I love Mark Moffat's "Knoffler-esque" guitar part going out the very end of the track.

lyrics

There was an ocean
where the fire once began
and I tried to save it
from the hands of mortal man
but should I ever, ever fail
these are the words to sail away

And so in the ocean
there lay images of lands
which held the answers
to all I tried to understand
so should I ever, ever fail
these are the words to sail away
