Verse 1
Em 
I was
Am 
standing and looking out over the
Em 
San
C 
Em 
Jacinto mountain range.
C 
Those mountains were named for
the patron saint
Hyacinth.
I felt so at peace out in the desert.
The calm, stillness,
Em 
it promoted a feeling of well -being.
But I knew that in a few days,
I would find myself in a completely different time zone.
C 
It was a rushed departure,
Em 
but a journey that I knew I had to make.
C 
And yet, I couldn't shake this feeling that
I was leaving someone behind.
Someone that I had only known for
Em 
a relatively short amount of time
C 
But in that short amount of time,
Em 
C 
I'd grown to care for her a great deal
I'm standing here at platform one
Far away from the ponds and sun
Em 
There's a gentle snow across a sky
of blue I send a frosty kiss to you
C 
As I lean into the
English wind
Chantelagues eased by cinnamon
Em 
In a piping hot glass of tea and rum
With ginger and chrysanthemum
C 
No place I would rather be
Than in your room with you next to me
Em 
Like the canyons and the hummingbirds
It's a beauty I can't quite put into words
C 
I miss you bad and I need you soon
In your embrace as we
Em 
stand and look in awe
At the blood red moon
C 
Em 
C 
At the blood red moon
During the feudal period of
Japan, there were a class
Em 
of samurai called ronin.
These were men who had no lord
or master.
C 
They were known to be drifters or wanderers,
somehow vagrant.
Em 
The word ronin means wave
man or wandering man.
C 
Often these ronin had fled or
deserted their master's land.
and found themselves
Em 
socially adrift.
These men had no master,
but they were also master of none.
C 
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na...
Em 
C 
wouldn't believe
the things I've seen
From
Finsbury
Park to
Golders
Green
From
Em 
City
Road
Lock to
Barnabone
A waveman looking for a home
C 
Listen to the universe and ride the wave
Be humble, be courageous,
Em 
be smart, be brave
C 
Some words I thought I'd never say
Honey, I'm home,
Em 
C 
how was your day?
But I knew that in a few days,
Em 
I would find myself in a completely different time zone.
C 
Am 
I had grown to care for her a great deal.

Gin and tonic on the fold -out tray
Em 
99 pages of
Hemingway
C 
Am 
Between the marlin and   the sharks
Em 
Cling to  me, darling, when it gets dark
C 
Paper or plastic, shaken or stirred
So many choices in a mixed up world
Em 
But if the heavenly bodies somehow align
C 
So let our love and souls combine
Em 
Under the blood red moon
Under the blood red moon
C 
On the plane ride over, I re -read
The
Old
Man and the
Sea.
It blew my mind to read this book that
I'd first picked up as a boy of 12 or 14.
And to look at it through
a grown man's eyes.
Same big questions.
Em 
Man versus nature, the sheer size and power of the sea,
Em 
Em 
its depth, its width, I couldn't
shake this form.
