jimmy webb – sandy cove lyrics

out by sandy cove
i thought about my life
a lot about my children
and a lot about my wife

i’m on my mom’s old accordion( ??)
and all the other things i’ve lost
like grandpa’s 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’d never finish
cause n-body lives that long
so many things unfinished
before they are begun
like grandpa’s ship in a bottle
we’ll sail out to oblivion
and where does all the love we lose go
it seems like such a crime
it’s like grandpa’s ship in a bottle
it disappears in time

if i could do no work
there’d be some changes made
i’d paint with vibrant colors
i’d stay out of the shade
i’d make everybody happy
with the lessons i have learned
i might not have found the joy in life
but i’d leave not stone unturned
i’d 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’t know why i’m empty
or why i’m standing by this sea
but i got cracks in all my mortar
i got holes in all my bricks
and it’s like grandpa’s ship in a bottle
it’s something i can’t fix
all my fancy tricks
it’s something i can’t fix
