Something I never knew
In silence I'd hear you
And a boat lies waiting
Still your clouds all flaming
That old time easy feeling

What I lost was an ocean
Now I'm drifting through without you
In this sad barcarolle

What I lost was an ocean
And I'm rolling right behind you
In this sad barcarolle

It rocks you like a cradle
It rocks you to the core
You'll sleep like a baby
As it knocks at death's door

    My Opinion

    This is one of the most powerful songs I've ever heard. You can feel how badly David misses his friend Rick.... This song isn't just for Rick though, but for all of us who've lost loved ones. That Piano is so soothing.... Thank you so much David & Polly ♥
