Keep On

Dave Krusen: Drums
Brad Smith: Bass, backup vocal, baritone horn, flute, bells
Chris Shinn:  Guitar & lead vocal
Christopher Thorn:  Piano, mellotrone, strings, flutes

Chris Shinn:  I wrote it through the eyes of a fictitious character who died doing what he loved to do, which is sailing.

Brad:  “Keep On” was an arrangement by Christopher that Chris Shinn wrote all the lyrics to and I helped him out with the chorus, it just came from everywhere."

Lyrics:
Fighting waves thirty feet tall
The boat is nearly full of water
When your thinking becomes crystal clear
Life is consumed by the moment

Keep on, keeping on
Don't wait for the wind to blow
Keep on, keeping on
Don't wait for the wind to blow

Is this fear or love I feel
Did we sink or are we sailing
Calm and warm the water moves
Over me like a lover who puts me to sleep

There was a lot of things I never believe
Like that I would ever drown at sea
There lived a man in control of his life who believed
To die doing what you loved is alright

Keep on, keeping on
Don't wait for the wind to blow
Keep on, keeping on
Don't wait for the wind to blow

There was a lot things I never believe
Like that I'd ever drown in the sea
I'm not bitter I'd sail out again
If I could

There was a lot of things I never believe
Like that I'd ever drown at sea
There lived a man in control of his life who believed
To die
