about

Another love song from university years, 'Wild as the Sea' was a frequent request by my college set. I recorded it around 1987 with Craig McArthur at Whirled Records, but later adapted the chords, melodies and part of the lyrics for another song entitled 'Contradiction is the Dragon' with hubby - co-songwriter since 1991 - Mark Krol for our CD 'Alexander' in the 90s. In a further revision it turns up in my latest album 'Elderbrook'. You can listen to those versions elsewhere here at Bandcamp. This is the 80s original. Rejected by record labels, it never made the leap from cassette to CD. This is its first airing on the internet, around 4 decades after I wrote it.

lyrics

Verse One

Often the colder mornings
Make your deeper fears
Rise up in a storm

Give us a chance

Chorus:

And I’ll love you like a slow winter rainfall
Like a lake of silver so deep
I will play you like a harp in the arms of a minstrel
Till your loving is as wild as the sea.

Verse Two

Sure as cities crumble
Under seven seas
You’re ready for my love
And in the height of feeling
When you’re giving most
Boy, you’ll have no worries anymore

Chorus

For I’ll love you like a slow winter rainfall
(Oooh I’ll love you like a winter rainfall)
