Bondi St. Blues

"Right after I got out of hospital a few years ago word had obviously spread quite fast through my group of friends, which included Mawds (Break Even) over in WA, who had just recently lost Rohan (R.I.P.) to suicide. He heard about what I'd done and sent me the song November 18th along with an email letting me know he was there for me and that he hoped I could get through it ok. It meant a lot to me, I think I listened to that song more than fifty times on repeat, it's one of the most meaningful things that anyone did for me around that time and I'm still so thankful to him, and the others in BE, for sending it to me. So this song is my thank you to them for that gesture, and the line 'And the boat sails on, like you sang in your song, and my mind feels much clearer several years on...' is a direct homage to Mawds' lyrics, and I hope that my gratitude is full expressed in this song to my friends, because it still means a great deal to me to this day."






I spent my time back then thinking of nothing but them,
the dead ends of my thoughts the last friends in my head:
and you heard me you heard me you heard me my friend,
sent the ship over seas to save me from death.
Through the storms I have weathered through the dark and the rain,
you sent me the ship that i sail on today.
And the boat sails on like you sang in your song,
and my mind feels clearer several years on.

And the ship that was sailing on,
those storm ridden seas
was my heart and your words gave me heart back to me.

My mind was a turbine that fueled all the storms,
and those words were the courage in which calmness took form.
Through the storms I have weathered
through the dark and the rain,
you sent me the ship that I sail on today.

And the boat sails on like you sang in your song,
and my mind feels clearer several years on.
And the ship that was sailing on,
those storm ridden seas
was my heart and your words gave me heart back to me.

I've found life, found the strength in myself to grow up
I've found friends, and the strength and the want to live
And the ship that was sailing on,
those storm ridden seas
was my heart and your words gave me heart back to me.
Through the storms I have weathered
through the dark and the rain,

And the boat sails on like you sang in your song,
and my mind feels clearer several years on. [x3]

And the ship that was sailing on,
those storm ridden seas
was my heart and your words gave me heart back to me.
