Out by Sandy Cove
I thought about my life
A lot about my children
And a lot about my wife
About my Mom's old accordion
And all the other things I've lost
Like grandpa's ship in a bottle
And I wondered what it would cost
'Cause I would pay a sultan's ransom
If only I could place
The ship back in the bottle
Or see my mother's face
Out by Sandy Cove
Starting on a song
I knew I'd never finish
'Cause nobody lives that long
So many things unfinished
Before they are begun
Like grandpa's ship in a bottle
He'll sail out to oblivion
And where does all the love we lose go?
It seems like such a crime
It's like grandpa's ship in a bottle
It disappears in time
I thought about my life
A lot about my children
And a lot about my wife
About my Mom's old accordion
And all the other things I've lost
Like grandpa's ship in a bottle
And I wondered what it would cost
'Cause I would pay a sultan's ransom
If only I could place
The ship back in the bottle
Or see my mother's face
Out by Sandy Cove
Starting on a song
I knew I'd never finish
'Cause nobody lives that long
So many things unfinished
Before they are begun
Like grandpa's ship in a bottle
He'll sail out to oblivion
And where does all the love we lose go?
It seems like such a crime
It's like grandpa's ship in a bottle
It disappears in time
