about
A Traveler's Homage. A video I've been working on for a year and a song I've been working on for two. It all started in June 2014 at a beach house in Wildwood, New Jersey, and finally wrapped on a life-changing Mediterranean trip in the summer of 2016.
lyrics
Come away with me
Life's a hassle, day to day
Seems to always be the same
Let's leave it behind
For a while.........
Hoist open your eyes to the whole world
You won't discover life with them closed
Oysters open wide for your own pearl
Just go and touch the sky till your toes curl
Come away with...
Meet me in the village of the Zulu learning voodoo
Take a trip to Crete or hit Belize and eat some kudu steak
Get vocal with the locals
Swim in the bluest lake
Let's leave today to sit and wait would be a huge mistake
Come away with me
Car, train or airplane
New York, Munich or Brisbane
So much to do and see
We'll be making memories
Come away with me
