DESCRIPTION:
David Furrer performing a cover version with his loopstation of Sting's "The Last Ship" from his new album.
Lyrics:
There's a man born in England 1951
He grew up like the most of us - middle class United Kingdom
He became a police man - not quite - I am wrong
But he certainly knew how to write and sing songs
So my mother in summer took me out for a ride
To my grandmother's place - it's a 2 hour drive
And she played me something called a music cassette
With Dire Straits on one side but I'll never forget...
With the voice of an angel and songs of such taste
I was pleased by that moment as now I'm amazed
'Cause whenever I hear him I picture inside
A little boy - that's me - once 've been innocent and free
I don't want to be missing this warm memory
To him I will listen my whole life certainly
With the voice of an angel he stood by my side
Giving hope when I needed to gain back my smile
May the angels protect him on board and the sea
When the last ship sails

thanks for listening
