about

I think the title says it all, the late Stewart Speed played the most superb bass cello, it makes me cry listening to it

lyrics

I was shipwrecked on a coal- black sea
Holed by a reef of hostility
Now i drifted until the days end
And like drowned man I pensively descend

We fought like drunken sailors on leave
Savage words bought you to my knees
My regret broke with the break of day
But your cold eyes watched me shiver away

Chorus

Can't get you off my mind
Close my eyes and i can't keep from crying
I want to forget you, I keep on trying
But I can't get you off, my mind.

A gull flies low across the bay
Your contempt carried you away
I followed through wind rain and light
But you disappeared into the anonymous night
chorus

So now I sail on the lashing tide
Unmoored by all that has died
The maelstroms groan is fifty leagues away
As I roll into another brooding day

chorus
