Back and Forth

lyrics

BACK AND FORTH

I’ve been back and forth

a million times

over and over again

I broke through

with my small voice

to see images

fall before my eyes

Counting boats

upon the sea

Watching them go

endlessly

Watching boats go

away with the breeze

I’ve been back and forth

a million times

over and over again

Tack and reef

Unfold and leave

And shake a reef

And be on their way

On their way

That’s the way I’m goin’

That’s the way I’m goin’

Shook my sails

and let ‘em go

wind fills them

with ocean breeze

My life is on its way

I could not ask for more

I never need it, no

I’ve been back and forth

a million times

and now I’m on my way

Not to stay

or leave the way

and I’m going through

every day

Slicin’ through

the seas of life

Dreamin’ of

my only life

My dreams and I

For I’ve been back and forth

a million times
