about

"Love conquers all, well that was my thinking..." Sea of Flowers and singer Rebecca Browne enter the world of 1970s folk-rock to reflect with midlife wisdom back on the blind optimism we all lose to the goals of expectation that are missed and missed...

lyrics

Love conquers all well that was my thinking
Started out on my own old connections’ll need relinking
At this point in your life there’s somewhere expected for you to be
So far in your career the little first steps as a family

But coping’s all I do so all I do is crawl
Groping for the lights to make the morning call

Well I never had a dream before
So I never had a dream to die
I’d never known lonely
Like the night you said goodbye
I never had a dream before
So I never had a dream to die
When have you known me
To talk with a tear in my eye

Watching the world go by was never my bag
If I don’t pedal on with the globe then the pace is starting to lag
Trends come and go, friends are made and friends are lost
Keeping up takes most of the time the upkeep takes most of the cost

But coping’s all I do so all I do is crawl
Groping for the lights to make the morning call

Well I never had a dream before
So I never had a dream to die
I’d never known lonely
Like the night you said goodbye
I never had a dream before
So I never had a dream to die
When have you known me
To talk with a tear in my eye

So how come now I’ve arrived at thinking
Of bettering myself and making improvements in social moving
Where I’m from no one is generally raising the bar
It doesn’t matter these days that’s no measure for who you are

And coping’s all you do so all you do is crawl
Groping for the lights to make the morning call

Well I never had a dream before
So I never had a dream to die
I’d never known lonely
Like the night you said goodbye
I never had a dream before
So I never had a dream to die
When have you known me
To talk with a tear in my eye
