Another old song, written with a friend, a lifetime ago
The great adventure
(re-visited)
I wish that I could find
a place
Where no one’s ever been
before
A land of sun and open
space
With palm trees lined
along the shore
I’d watch the seabirds in
the sky
And travel round the
tropic land
And maybe one day I would
find
A stranger’s footprints
in the sand
We’ve sailed across the
seven seas
Through stormy waters to
a gentle breeze
Anticipation’s in the air
The sky is clear
The weather fair
There’s a look of
pleasure on your face
As you hold the telescope
in place
You can see the land
Underneath the sun
The great adventure has
begun
I wish that I could drift
away
To some oasis in my brain
A land that is so far
away
I never would come back
again
In a bottle I would send
A message to my friends
at home
An invitation to attend
I would not care to be
alone
We’ve sailed across the
seven seas
Through stormy waters to
a gentle breeze
Anticipation’s in the air
The sky is clear
The weather fair
There’s a look of
pleasure on your face
As you hold the telescope
in place
You can see the land
Underneath the sun
The great adventure has
begun
