Hi,
Here is a new song from me. It's about someone who has spent their life at sea and despite all the dangers and hardship, when the sailor is old and reflects on his life, it's these times that were the best. I hope you like it and feel inclined to comment.

https://soundcloud.com/alan-walker-4/i-have-been-a-sailorI have been a sailor for many a long year
There's salt water in my veins
Used to be a whaler off the bleached bone shores
Through the freezing Nantucket rain
The freezing Nantucket rain
I have run through storms with waves so high
I thought every breath was my last
With the wind so strong it tore up the sails
And smashed the matchstick mizzen mast
Smashed the matchstick mizzen mast
Still I live for days when the anchor weighs
And the sea whispers low
"If you sail on me I'll set you free
Just a sure as the north winds blow"
Just a sure as the north winds blow"
I have been drunk in bars under the stars
In a town near Abeline
Sat up all night as the Northern lights
Turned the skyways green
They turned the skyways green
I killed a Bristol man with my bare hands
Caught him stealing from the crew
Watched my young man drown
In some harbour town
There was nothing I could do
There was nothing I could do
So if you meet an old man at the sailor's rest
And he's sitting, staring out to sea
Buy him a drink and hear his tales
For that old man might be me
That old man might be me
I still remember days when the anchor weighed
And the sea whispered low
"If you sail on me I'll set you free
Just a sure as the north winds blow"
Just a sure as the north winds blow"
