Across the Sea of Madness

KEY: begins in Bb major (Home Key)

I. Intro: 1 instrumental refrain: pizzicato. Bass and Elec. Piano L.H.

1.

A boat upon the ocean....

A ship that’s lost at sea....

I sail a trackless sea.

(in search of you, in search of me)

2. bar#10:

Like a gull upon a windy track,

I will sail this tack, / (more like half-voice)

while I catch a wind to blow me back. / 3. Hum (no words) thru bar#18

4. Across the ‘Sea of Madness’..... /

Across the gulf of pain,

The course of storms, wind, waves and rain.

5. In your arms my course will be run,

In your love my ship will come,

To sail its final run. /

6. Hum (bars 26-34)

7. Bar#35 (sing these lines freely over music)

Westward into the setting sun

One westward, to be one

I’m sailing Home Again

I’m Westward Bound,

I’m sailing Home Again

I’m Homeward Bound

[Across The Sea Of Madness]

Westward into the sun. // bar43

Abrupt stop bar43: INSTRUMENTAL all guitars come in on 3-chord romp.

A poetic jewel... "Across the Sea of Madness" inspires and enchants... It is an aliment to imagination.

In respect and admiration,

The Path of a Creative Thinker at CTI

CREATIVE THINKERS INTERNATIONAL MEMBERSHIP GUIDELINES





1. Membership at CTI is free and open to all those interested in either the production or appreciation of the creative arts, to include literature, visual art, dance, music, film, spiritual theory, the social sciences, philosophy, general humanities, scientific inquiry, education in general, and other disciplines intended to enhance the quality of life for all humanity. Applicants should be at least 17 years old and members are allowed one full profile per person.

2. Materials posted by Members of CTI are their sole responsibility and not that of CTI management or any other member of the CTI site.

3. While recognizing that the work of creative artists is often controversial by its very nature, CTI prohibits and discourages the posting of any overtly obscene and intentionally inflammatory material. These include overt pornography, racist diatribes, religious slander, and any postings promoting discrimination against or the oppression of other human beings.

4. In the interest of stimulating creative growth, we encourage dialogue and even debate. However, Members should avoid leaving intentionally offensive or antagonistic remarks on the pages of Fellow Members. We can disagree and still remain a harmonious community.

5. Explore, grow, share, and enjoy your creative success.

Please remember, these guidelines are likely to evolve as the site itself continues to evolve and develop. We welcome and encourage your input. After all, yours are some of the best minds on the planet so we would be very foolish not to listen to what you have to say.
