Clouds Of Reason - John & Mary[00:00:01]
The bells of the village ring[00:00:17]
Only three times they sing[00:00:21]
For the boy who decided[00:00:23]
Just where he'd go[00:00:25]
Hearing a Galveston radio show[00:00:27]
The clouds of reason at times[00:00:31]
They rain mistakenly[00:00:34]
On the young ones that never should die alone[00:00:36]
And he'd been through the Maritimes[00:00:42]
And he'd been through the summertime[00:00:46]
And he'd been through the wintertime[00:00:49]
And the time told him just where to go[00:00:51]
From the Gulf to the Northern Sea[00:00:55]
Twenty years just a memory[00:00:59]
He had given the time of his life[00:01:02]
But his time was so limited[00:01:05]
After searching all year non-stop[00:01:11]
Up in Natchez he got a job[00:01:14]
Where they never asked him papers to show[00:01:16]
Where all you been they don't wanna know[00:01:21]
As the captain was sizing him up[00:01:24]
Held out a big hand to wish him luck:[00:01:27]
'The smaller the sailor[00:01:30]
The bigger the catch will bring'[00:01:32]
And he'd been through the Maritimes[00:01:36]
And he'd been through the summertime[00:01:39]
And he'd been through the wintertime[00:01:42]
And the time told him just where to go[00:01:45]
From the Gulf to the Northern Sea[00:01:49]
Twenty years just a memory[00:01:52]
He had given the time of his life[00:01:55]
But his time was so limited[00:01:58]
At 6 a m it is still dark[00:02:05]
A lantern makes its way down to the sea[00:02:10]
He thinks of nighttime when[00:02:18]
He'll be again with her[00:02:20]
Twin beds pushed together[00:02:23]
Hear the ocean breeze[00:02:25]
The boat rocked in a troubled sea[00:02:58]
Waking dreams are not meant to be[00:03:01]
The boy lost his balance and into the foam[00:03:03]
Never again to return to his home[00:03:07]
The hardest thing for the captain to do[00:03:11]
Was meeting Ann when[00:03:14]
The long day was through[00:03:15]
When she saw the boat empty[00:03:17]
She knew without hearing the words[00:03:19]
And he'd been through the Maritimes[00:03:23]
And he'd been through the summertime[00:03:26]
And he'd been through the wintertime[00:03:29]
And the time told him just where to go[00:03:32]
From the Gulf to the Northern Sea[00:03:36]
Twenty years just a memory[00:03:39]
He had given the time of his life[00:03:42]
But his time was so limited[00:03:45]
In old days he never let trouble[00:03:50]
Like this get to him[00:03:53]
Hiring a boy and then learning[00:03:57]
He never could swim[00:04:00]
The harborlights dim in the morning[00:04:04]
That circles the bay[00:04:06]
And the bells of the village ring three times[00:04:10]
To welcome the day[00:04:13]
