From the recording Trans-Mountaineer
“Someday You'll sail and you'll settle your soul”, the TRANS-MOUNTAINEER assures himself as he continues his transcendental journey. In the style of a classic sea shanty, this tune features fingerpicking Folk guitar, ambient electric, & vintage accordion accompanying mournful vocals that build to a bursting glorious refrain.
Lyrics
Weary wanderer, wrestling with wild winds,
Someday You'll sail and you'll settle your soul.
Your feet are itching; your legs are shaking.
Someday You'll sail and you'll settle your soul.
This house is a hole in the earth, opened wide.
This chasm will kill you and swallow you whole.
Someday you'll sail, oh someday you'll get out.
Someday You'll sail and you'll settle your soul.
Anxious adventurer, able and airborne,
Someday You'll sail and you'll settle your soul.
Your heart is fluttering, quivering, shuddering.
Someday You'll sail and you'll settle your soul.
This city's a hole in the earth, opened wide.
This chasm will kill you and swallow you whole.
Someday you'll sail, oh someday you'll get out.
Someday You'll sail and you'll settle your soul.
This country's a hole in the earth, opened wide.
This chasm will kill you and swallow you whole.
Someday you'll sail, oh someday you'll get out.
Someday You'll sail and you'll settle your soul.
