J.D. Souther Out To Sea written by J.D. Souther
John Barbata drums
Wayne Perkins guitar
Well I use to sing in Texas and it sounded fine to me
I guess I've come a long long way
But I've changed the words so many times I lost the melody
And I never even saw it slip away
Out to sea there is a refuge
Where the holy winds are strong
Out to sea there is a high place takes so long
So I thought of California by the shinning sea
Though I'd write the song of songs
I could hear my baby's goodbye voice ringing out to me
Dear David I hope you live that long
Out to sea there is a refuge
Where the holy winds are strong
Out to sea there is a high place
Sailor lead me to your song
And we will bathe in the white foaming water
And be pure as God's driven snow
On that cloudless day there'll be no sorrow
So the story goes the story goes
Well I might never sing a song that's good enough for me
Chase the doubts and fears away
On a sinking ship of hope I could hear the sailors calling
Call the captain sail away
Out to sea there is a refuge
Where the holy winds are strong
Out to sea there is a high place lead me to your song
And we will bathe in the white foaming water
And be pure as God's given snow
On that cloudless day there'll be no sorrow
So the story goes the story goes
