Wife and I took a break this weekend to go home and visit family. I've had this song in the can for a couple of days, but I did a quick one-take recording on my voice memos on my phone. Other than the initial harmonies which I recorded Friday before we left town. I was encouraged by my brother-in-law to just post the raw track, so that's what I'm doing. It's not exactly an acoustic one-take, but it's close. This is a weird song to me. The imagery is not at all like what I normally do. I really have no idea where this one came from.

Also, now, featuring: a bridge.

the tides of time, they come and go

the tides of time, they come and go beckoning me to and fro places that i scarcely know, ahead

in my mind the image clear visions, now, of yesteryear places where i still do fear to tread

i'm coming home

i have seen ten-thousand things teeth that gnash and wounds that sting hateful things i feel no need to share

i have seen the dark of night and radiating beauty bright wonders, horrors, both beyond compare

i'm coming home

o sweet release i pray, bury me, take me away o sweet release so near your embrace i do not fear

the tides of time have come and gone bravely i have soldiered on death, approach with gaping yawn, you thief

time will tell where i belong were i weak or were i strong hasten, now, to sing your song of grief

i'm coming home

the tides are all that now remain everlasting, their refrain
