When I get the feeling When I get the feeling that nothing Nothing can go wrong I tell myself, now hold on Hold on and be strong 'Cause nothing Nothing lasts too long * chorus And I try to remind myself What am I fighting for? What am I fighting for? What am I fighting for? When I get the notion The notion to jump into the river End it all right now I tell myself, now hold on Hold on, just a little bit longer 'Cause nothing lasts too long repeat chorus* When I get to thinking Thinking, now what's the use in this world? Full of strife and scorn I tell myself, now hold on Hold on, 'cause you know that some things Are worth fighting for repeat chorus*

Spyglass 04:43
Oh the spyglass that I have is a worthy tool indeed It shows me a million miles across the foamy sea But this spyglass cannot show me what I long so much to see The heart of my true love, wherever she may be Oh the compass in my hand is as true as e're I've owned It guides me along my way beneath that fickle dome But this compass cannot guide me in this question that I hold Does she think of me? I would that it were so Oh the schooner that I sail, from mast to solid keel Rides the waves with grace, she let's me take her wheel But this boat cannot compete for this sailor's promise sealed For my lady fair, despite her heart concealed Oh the North Star in the sky is a constant friend in cheer He talks to me of hope, he takes away my fear But the North Star cannot tell me what I long so much to hear Does she wait for me upon that distant pier?

Pirates Canoe Kyoto, Japan

–– A roots music loving band, hopelessly stuck somewhere between American and Japanese ––

Although the members come from all sorts of genres, the band focuses mainly on Americana and roots-based music. All songs are original, yet sound like they could have been around for a while, managing to create a traditional but fresh sound.
