about

Written and recorded during the 2020 lockdowns.

lyrics

Keep on smiling.
Like we did way back when we,
Used to have no cares at all.

For my darling,
This isolation we’re in,
Will pass
Will fold

Just keep a weather eye on,
Wont be long'
Sailing home,
To see our loved ones, dear.

Keep your head above the water and remember,
What was once will be again.

Should you falter,
I’ll be there to remind you,
Soon will come the day my friend

Just keep a weather eye on,
Wont be long,
Sailing home,
To see our loved ones, dear.

Take time, Take stock
In this weather

One day you know we’ll be together.

Look to the East and never,
Forget all hope that we’ll be ever,

Sipping beer by the river.

Take time, Take stock,
In this weather

One day you know we’ll be together.

Look to the East and never,
Forget all hope that we’ll be ever,

Sipping beer by the river.
