The Great Escape

[John Mann talking about the song before playing it]nThank you.nWe're gonna do a song right now that...[whistle toot] uh, that I feel pretty good about.nn[idle strumming/plucking/tuning of bass or guitar in the background]nnThis is kind of fun because my dad had written some poetry and he gave me a poem that I guess kind of expressed what had been happening in his life. And he gave me the poem and said could you write some music for it? And so I took it and wrote so basic music for it and brought it to the guys and they kinda helped...n[an odd discordant note is disapprovingly played on the bass in the background]n...yeah they helped a lot. We came up with this song and dad didn't give it to me with a name and we were fooling around with it one day and Geoff starting playing this jig Ships in Full Sail over top of the chords and it really worked out beautifully.nn[John away from the mike] Thanks Geoff.n[Geoff into his mike] Your Welcome.nn[They start playing the song]nWell I was sittin' by the shorenwatchin' merchant seaman leave nthe safety of their harbournfor the open reach of seanand I reckoned that their lifenwas a ruthless one and lonelynand I contemplated onlynit was here I'd rather benso I rose and turned my back upon the seannAnd then the metaphor took shapenin my mind a few days laternthat the harbour was my historynand the sea a chance for changenThat horizon beckoned men[and when I stroked in that direction]?nI began to realize that it might be within my rangennow I'm out here swimmin' in the waves of changennNow that horizon didn't seemnto be getting any closernand it made me start to wondernif it all might be in vainnthen I began to understandnhorizons don't get closernrather you extend them furthernevery time you make some gainsnso I keep on swimmin' in the waves of changenyes I keep on swimming in the waves of changenyes I keep on swimmin' in the waves of...nchange
