Singer/Songwriter Ian Melvin
March At Sea

This is the original demo remastered in Logic Pro X

The song was inspired by the accompanying artwork by Daria, entitled "March At Sea". Daria is unsure as to where the title came from, it just felt right I guess, and nor do I truly know what it means. Colour in the spaces for yourselves.

Vocals, Baritone guitar, Bodhran and Chimes (ice cream bowls) and Tambourines: @ian-melvin

March At Sea

She was a red headed girl
In a colourless world
Abroad on the seven seas
She was the salt in my eye
And a stab to my thigh
Alas March at sea

And she was part of the mystery
Yes she was part of the mystery

He made his last stand
With a blade in his hand
Against profligate princes and popes
And he held his head high
With our dreams in his eyes
As they lead him away from all hope

And he was out making his story
He was out making his story
Yes he was out making his story

Chorus

So come on you ravers
You blatherskites and pikes
Come gather marauders
She's sailing tonight
On the first slackened tide
We’ll be far out of sight
At last March at sea

It was in the bawd’s house
That she made the trade faire
Though not one of them ere knew her name
Or that the setting of the suns
Was the colour of her mane
Alas March at sea

And it was part of the mysteries
Yes it was part of the mysteries
It was all part of the mysteries
It was all part of the mysteries

Repeat chorus
