lyrics

Cast off the ropes
Let's take to the tide
Leave everything
That we once had behind
Drift free of tethers
And constricting ties
With the wind in our sails
And the sun in our eyes

We've put out the fires
Now the ashes have gone
Blown by the wind
That arose with the dawn
The hearth is cold
But our bellies are warm
We're prepared for
Whatever is ahead
That's to come

Moving on as seasons change
It doesn't seem so far away
Slowly things come into range
Reach out of your dreams
The hole you dug is too deep
You did those things
Because you were too weak
Now you must find the strength
For the next thing
That comes into range
Learn from the past
And turn to face a new day

Maybe in time
The ocean will clean
The dirt from the past
That needs some release
You keep it inside
In the dark under key
Out of sight
Where no one can see

Sometimes
Maybe it's best to forget
Some of the things
That you can't amend
They rise like fish
Break the surface and smart
Get rid of them
So that we can be

Heading into the unknown
For us it is uncharted water
But people have been here before
You can hear of their experience
But you learn from the first hand
So dip in toes and dip in fingers
Exorcise the ghosts that linger
Hanging on to your shirt tails

Wob UK

Acoustic Country/folk Punk probably describes me best at the moment

"A spring heeled, iron lunged avalanche of energy and melody.
Wob's sound is a glorious and intelligent blend of punk, pop and folk."
