lyrics

My Father And Me
(c)Kevin Fisher

Last time I saw my father we were sailing out on the sea
The currents that used to break us they rested patiently
The wind said that heaven was open
The clouds framed a whole in the sky
But never a word was spoken between my father and I

Then from out of the blue I said I love
And I meant it with all that I had
I was sorry the words came so seldom
Between this wayward son and his dad
And as I broke out in waves of emotion
I threw my father’s ashes out on the ocean
Out on the sea, out over the ocean, my father and me

The last time I saw my father he had done all that he could do
He worked like a fool to break even then decided that he was through
He suffered some outrageous fortune
And took a few on the chin
Now he’s standing at the gate of St. Peter dying to get in

Then from out of the blue I said I love
To the sun in the sky and the sea
To the sway and the sound of the water
I said watch my father for me
And as I broke out in waves of emotion
I threw my father’s ashes out on the ocean
Out on the sea, out over the ocean, my father and me

Oh, the wind and water took him home, my father is finally free to roam

Then from out of the blue I heard I love you
Son, I did the best that I could
I hope one day you’ll forgive me
I knew that I would
Broken by the waves of emotion
I watched my father’s ashes
Fall in the ocean, into the sea
Out over the ocean, my father and me

Naked To The World Los Angeles, California

We tried to break up. But there must be some quantum time-shift or random wormhole that forces us to slide back into perpetual existence. We started in 1993, garnered some accolades, released 5 CDs, toured the U.S., had our songs cut by major artists, and garnered a bit of commercial airplay ourselves. We are grateful for everyone who has ever come to one of our shows and enjoyed our music. ... more
