Simon's Song (from The Acoustic Gospels) by Graham Kendrick. Originally on Footsteps on the Sea.

[ Ссылка ]

In a return to the concert settings of his classic acoustic songs, Graham Kendrick recorded these songs on “The Acoustic Gospels Tour”.

With several decades of songwriting under his belt, and having penned some of the world’s best known worship songs, The Acoustic Gospels is Graham in a different mode, rekindling the performance style that first brought appreciation for his music.

This is the fulfilment of a dream – to get back on the road playing the acoustic music I started out with, to keep it simple and personal, and let the songs tell the story. We set out to record it live, raw and atmospheric, and I think it worked - I hope you agree!

Footsteps on the sea, nets upon the sand
Seabirds flying free, the sower sows his land
I was only singing songs of billowed sails and sea
Mending nets on yellow sand when my brother said to me:

‘See who walks the shore, yonder by the tree
One who walks so tall, a preacher-man is he’
I was only singing songs of billowed sails and sea
Mending nets on yellow sand when he came up to me

Eyes that bore the sea a thousand ages old
Fixed their gaze on me, a thousand tales were told
Later on the tide came in and washed my nets away
And shadows long heard a fisherman’s song
But my bed it empty lay

Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm,

I was only singing songs of billowed sails and sea
Mending nets on yellow sand when he said: ‘Follow me’.
