about

Written by Andy Evans

Released on the anniversary of my father's passing, this song came from images that were in my mind when I thought about him. It's for everyone who’s missing a loved one.

We released an earlier version on a previous promo CD - this is a completely new recording.

lyrics

We are flotsam
We are jetsam
On the ocean drifting free
See that old wreck in the sunset?
Empty silhouette, leave it be
This is where we’re meant to be
This is where we’re meant to be

We are singing
We are swaying
We are rolling in the foam
We are drifting to an island
On that dry land we’ll find home
This is where I long to be
This is where I long to be

Where the flow ends we’ll find old friends
All the loved ones we cannot see
They are flotsam
They are jetsam
On the ocean drifting free
This is where they’re meant to be
Hold them close and set them free
