The lost boat
Watching out
Still the harbour lies in waiting
For the dawn
I’m watching out
It’s been a hope for many
For freedom
I’m watching out
A faithful lighthouse-keeper
Standing guard
I’m out here on my own
Scanning the horizon
I hold on
I’m watching out for the lost boat.
For the lost boat out at sea
Watching out
Hope against hope for lost boat out at sea.
Break of day.
All the trawlers are coming in
One by one
They all know my fate
They all pray for fortune
And hold on

Half empty suitcase,
or is it half full?
It all depends on your condition.
Doesn’t matter much anyway
And needless to say, you’d better try
To travel light.
So take one Step ahead, travel light and don’t look back
Leave your past behind, forgive, but don’t forget.
Step off the beaten track, choose the sideroads, watch your Step
There’s nothing left to hide, but at least, you’ve got your pride
It won’t take much to travel light.
I left a lot of things at home.
Sometimes home means
„Not at home at all“
Some uncharted territory, yet any crowded place
Just some whistle stops from here.
Tell me brother where are you bound
So take one...
Some run for their lives
Some stumble and fall
Some will lose their way in the rain
Some live for the day
Some waste it all away
Some will never ever learn,
some won’t even shed a tear in all their lives
While some just try to travel light.
So take one...

Nowhere Bound
Some worn out holdall by the wayside.
Inside the troublesome baggage of bygone years and times
Once the beaten tracks may only take you back
To where these items all belong
To the house that is said to be solid and safe.
It is somebody's home, but not yours anymore.
It is somebody's home, but not yours anymore.
Nowhere bound
aimlessly nowhere bound
Once and all
Nowhere bound...
A buckled old bookmark in your bible.
Just one of those books, that would not end your search.
The songs that you sang to the notes that they found
A voice in the choir always in tune
Canon in rhyme
Ten commandments and plight
No contradictions no protest allowed.

Came to this band very late and I must confess only because they were playing various dates with one of my firm favs Kaprekar’s Constant so I thought I’d better take a listen to what they had on offer...and well I now have all three albums and a huge convert...so much so that the neighbours will get to know them too over the next few weeks...if you ever get a chance to watch them live...you are in for a big treat...they command the stage and the audience as their own...

The melodies of Drifting Sun greatly appeal to me. This album wastes no time casting it’s pleasant spell on me via the cascading keys in The Charade. Throughout the album, drums, guitars, keys, and vocals are smooth, strong, and expressive; a lively blend of bright prog rock. Bombastic and spirited flourishes abound amid dreamy, melodic structures. The use of secondary voices in support of the lead vocalist is well done, giving his sentiments heavier credence. Very dramatic! 8+/10.
