echoes of the past
resound into the present
a dream of the sea                       -  Off the Tippets
Recounting fame and fortune
Of wild seafarers of old

echoes of the past
resound into the present
a dream of the sea                       -  Off the Tippets
conveyed well beyond the shores
messages for young lovers

echoes of the past
resound into the present
a dream of the sea                      -  Off the Tippets
fulfillment  for the curious
unshackled and wanting more
