Here is the last song I will post from the Drive Lonesome album and probably the last song I will post on this forum. I do appreciate the comments from a group of posters over the years. I don't have much to add over the 50 years of songwriting. Time to move on.

Wine Dark Sea

My dreams got busted
They can’t be trusted
For anything
No contemplation
No new sensation
Makes me sing
For too long I was exiled
I’m back where I should be
Your heart has been my harbor
From this wine dark sea

The wind is forlorn
Laments its first born
Day and night
She seeks a reason
Now out of season
Black and white
She knows my name is written
On charred and bleached debris
Your heart has been my harbor
From this wine dark sea

Webs I weaved were countless
I spun them everyday
Am I trying to lure another
Well, who am I to say

I was humbled
When I stumbled
Way down there
I paid the price
Paid it twice
Paid my share
So many pointless questions
To be or not to be
Your heart has been my harbor
From this wine dark sea

The ancient bell
Aches and swells
When it tolls
Its task is clear
Ring far and near
For all lost souls
It could be speculation
It hasn’t tolled for me
Your heart has been my harbor
From this wine dark sea
