lyrics

I went overboard, went overboard today. I fell overboard, fell overboard today. And I watched it steam away that big boat black and grey.

And I felt the cold, I felt the cold sting. And it made my head, it made my head ring. Oh, there's something new, it's swimming through. It's on its way. It's on its way.

There's no place to turn back to, you're gonna have to swim the ocean blue to take your place among the chosen few who ride the waves to find something true.

Now I don't know, I don't know much. But what I know I've seen, I've felt, I've touched. And I had to fall away, to find a place to stay. I'm on my way. I'm on my way.

There's no place to turn back to, you're gonna have to swim the murky blue to take your place among the chosen few who ride the waves to find something true.

Now I wait beneath sun and sky to find my way the ocean as my guide. And all the weight of what I didn't do is sinking fast and fading out of view.

I went overboard, went overboard today. I fell overboard, fell overboard today. Go on without me. Go on without me.

I'll take my place among the chosen few. I'll ride the waves to find something true.

Heat from the Day
by Ben Kreader

It's a family thing...my brother is also a singer-songwriter, but has an eclectic sound all his own (more art-pop, but also lyric-driven). You won't regret checking it out! Ellie Zwart
