锘縎andy Cove By Jimmy Webb Out by Sandy Cove I thought about my Life A lot about my children And a lot about my wife I鈥檓 on my Mom鈥檚 old accordion( ??) And all the other things I鈥檝e lost Like grandpa鈥檚 ship in a bottle And I wondered what it would costs 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 I started on a song I knew I鈥檇 never finish Cause nobody lives that long So many things unfinished Before they are begun Like grandpa鈥檚 ship in a bottle We鈥檒l sail out to oblivion And where does all the love we lose go It seems like such a crime It鈥檚 like grandpa鈥檚 ship in a bottle It disappears in time If I could do no work There鈥檇 be some changes made I鈥檇 paint with vibrant colors I鈥檇 stay out of the shade I鈥檇 make everybody happy With the lessons I have learned I might not have found the joy in life But I鈥檇 leave not stone unturned I鈥檇 leave not stone unturned Out by Sandy Cove Just a mile beyond the strand There stands an ancient tower On a rocky point of land I feel just like that tower Like nothing lives inside of me And I don鈥檛 know why I鈥檓 empty Or why I鈥檓 standing by this sea But I got cracks in all my mortar I got holes in all my bricks And it鈥檚 like grandpa鈥檚 ship in a bottle It鈥檚 something I can鈥檛 fix All my fancy tricks It鈥檚 something I can鈥檛 fix
