Lyrics:
I used to be a simple man
thought I had all I’d ever need
a drink at the bar, a guitar in my hand
but sirens call me to the sea

I may be gone, but my heart never leaves
the island of my dreams

Underneath the Northern sky
shimmering green and thunder light
Set a course, we’re heading west
back home to the land I love the best
Look for me upon the tide
Billow and breeze, they’re on our side
Bear to port, boys, haul away
back homeward again,
to the lass that I left on Colonsay

I fell in love without a plan
her heart was gold, her soul was fire
the heavens were laughing as we danced
her name was Josie MacIntyre

It’s been so long since I took to the sea
Is she waiting there for me

Underneath the Northern sky
shimmering green and thunder light
Set a course, we’re heading west
back home to the land I love the best

Look for me upon the tide
Billow and breeze, they’re on our side
Bear to port, boys, haul away
back homeward again,
to the lass that I left on Colonsay

I’ve seen the world in far-off lands
from China Seas seas to Mexico
the Southern Cross and velvet sands
But only one place feels like home

On Colonsay I’ll settle down
no more to race the rolling seas
I made a sailcloth wedding gown
if Josie were to marry me

Underneath the Northern sky
shimmering green and thunder light
Set a course, we’re heading west
back home to the land I love the best

Look for me upon the tide
Billow and breeze, they’re on our side
Bear to port, boys, haul away
back homeward again,
I know that she’s watching over the bay,
the lass that I left on Colonsay

If you haven't bought a ticket to one of their shows yet, do it now. Last night in Dallas was the best show I've ever been to.

[dimmingstar]

i don't know why i'm crying, but i am.

that was beautiful -- from melody to vocals to lyrics.

[timdecock]

Saw you guys at Antwerp yesterday. It was unbelievably good. Thanks for the music, energy and joy. Keep making music. Proud of my signed t-shirt! God bless lads.

[DésVicktoria]

Beautiful scenery, beautiful music, beautiful people! Love you guys SO much!

[Brassydoots]

I love the joy that oozes out of this music video. Perfectly encapsulates the joy we all felt hearing it for the first time. This newest album hits all the right spots in my ears, great work lads.

[nvrumi]

Y'all brought a tear to my eye and hope to my heart for the next generation of musicians. Some 50-years ago, my best friend and I played local coffee houses covering Gordon Lightfoot and Cat Stevens (and others) just for the joy of the music and fellowship. Keep it going! Love it!

[tommieev]

loved this! Undoubtedly this and the entire CD will make for wonderful driving music

[Better.Call.Bobo.Denkirk]

This is truly a masterpiece 🔥
The joy and satisfaction in your eyes is so heartwarming.
Everything you touch turns to gold ✨

[gracembarkwell]

[miamidolphinsfan]

Absolutely GORGEOUS....well done mates !!!!

[chandrafriend]

Wonderful show in Berkeley last night. 3 generations of my family were there, from 7 to 77, and we all loved it!

[leticiaramos]

Four minutes of pure happines! 💙 you guys are amazing! Thank you so so much!

[tindepapp]

Just enjoying, together, cold and fire, and good vibes ❤❤❤❤❤.I like it

[hannahnicholas]

I've been listening to this song non stop since it came out, I'm having a difficult pregnancy and the vibe of this song helps me stay positive. Love your work, lads ❤

[shariromanauskas]

Gorgeous!! Beautiful song. The video is the best. I can't wait to see it live in Kinston NC. #thewellermen❤

[Clair]

I went to the show in San Antonio a few weeks back. I told a friend afterwards, even if you have no idea who these guys are, go to a concert. You’ll walk out having loved it. Several years of listening to these guys, still was not prepared for what an amazing live performance they’d put on. Couldn’t have loved it more.

[TheMsrebelsaint]

I've had this song on repeat tonight. I've had some really unexpected family news today on top of grieving the loss of my best friend Rosie in January.

And am really scared about tomorrow as I have to do this Universal credit migration.

One of the few things that kept me alive/safe tonight was a) I want to introduce this song to my sea shanty collective and b) I would love to visit colonsay!

Thank you for this beautiful song. And would love to sing it with you in the UK sometime!

[nicolenichols]

I've been playing this song many times since hearing it a couple of days ago and falling in love with it. 🛥️⛵🌊

I've been going through depression a lot lately because I'm trying to look for another job to help myself and my mother financially. It's been unsuccessful and it's hard to keep perservering when my troubles weigh heavy on my mind and my emotional state.😢😢😢

By playing this song so many times, I feel like I'm singing a long with you guys and dancing so happily. 💃🏼🎤🎶🎵🎼🪈🎸

This song helps me to forget my troubles and just let myself feel connected with every word spoken and the beautiful scenery.

I've found my new "HAPPY SONG" to help keep hopeful and perservering through my struggles. 💪🏼🙏

Thank you so much, you guys. You are truly amazing. ❤

Keep this music going and keep bringing positivity to many people like me. 😊😊

[ddutton]

Such a great song! Super excited to have seen this live in Dallas two nights ago. What a great show! If you haven’t seen these guys live, you should we were so happy to be able to go and see these amazing musicians! What a great song! ❤

[ruizsamara]

Beautiful music and beautiful video!! You are amazing guys!!
