lyrics

Through rain-blocked glasses, I watch planet Blue lie before me in merciless perfection.
Enter The Lady Summer, beaming down the sun that dries the rain.
I feel like tears, I tremble in the wind and I wash away with the waves
My heart is restless like the sea, you are crew to its ships.

Come hoist the sails and blow the wind in for I'm leaving. Well, are you coming with me?
Barefoot, the hands are working - playful like the feather in her hair
These ship routines, “Prepare to come about!”, they are like algebra to me.
Oh she is kind and very beautiful. Then, she can be so cruel.

Oh, what a world before me, ahead on starboard and port!
Leaving this rainy day behind me. Oh, what a time to be alive!

I'm standing here naked in this simple long-sleeve T-shirt, with my hands all battered
I slayed a mere spider and I shouldn't make that bigger than it is.
This dance of ours, this game of give and ask, is a slave to the work and to chance.
You bring me up before Poseidon. I'm only passing through

Oh, what a world before me, ahead on starboard and port!
Leaving this rainy day behind me. Oh, what a time to be alive!

Oh what a world that lies before us; ahead on starboard and port!
Leaving a rainy day behind us, Oh, what a time,
oh, what a life - what a time to be alive!

Roy de Smet The Netherlands

Roy de Smet's music is present-day minded and written in its own right, making it a unique addition to the existing, rich songwriter tradition. As a songwriter, De Smet does not feel comfortable in safety. Hence, he prefers finding himself in a blizzard of intertextual references and exotic recipes, over riding on a midnight train between two much sung-about American cities. ... more
