about

Album "WWI - The World, The Women & I - Blues"

recorded, mixed & produced by Philipp Selisky

lyrics

The wind carried a whistle to my bewildered ears
And it didn’t tell me anything though I liked the way it screamed
And I would sail to Saragossa, not a penny to my name
Travel all the beaches and port towns, I may never stay the same

But then my sweet lover cries out with an appeal
She says ‘Baby, don’t you leave me and take to the Deep Blue Sea’
And her breast issued a promise with her fair face fighting a frown
And I, I’m so tempted to whisper ‘Lay me down, lay me down
Lay me down, lay me down’

But the Sea, the sea it calls me: ‘Don’t rest in your easy decline.
You’ve never rocked on my foam waves and there will come a time
You will peak out your city window, so terribly at ease
And will long, long to be buried in my Deep Blue Retreat’

And so the Sea did made a promise, I may never sleep too sound
Should I give in to my Baby’s arms and whisper: ‘Lay me down, lay me down
Lay me down, lay me down.’

And so I drift along here and I don’t know where to go
I’m imprisoned by my longing and shackled by my love
And one day I may sit back with the teardrops pouring down
I’ll have lost my love and my wisdom for a whisper: ‘Lay me down, lay me down
Lay me down, lay me down’
