"I Must Go" describes a man who must of necessity leave what he loves to seek his fortune. A personal song, yet with a hint of the historical emmigrant experience. Mastered. Yes!

Story behind the song
The melody and first line of this song came complete in a flow. An old song of mine reworked in open tuning. Listen for the Latin flavor of the solo behind the last lyrics.
Lyrics
Bound for clearer sailing I will brave the roughest waves These days fortune smiles upon us only faintly Take up arms against a sea of troubled waters The times are forcing me away Janey you're the one for me I've told it to you lately But to plunder time's long chance I'm bound for leaving Pretty eyes of blue May cry a thousand tears of mourning They cannot match the ocean that I'm sailing I must go Skies and seas so black And land so brown and drab They're like the peasants' sack cloth Like those endless fears So many never to come back Oh let them go we can do naught We too have nothing Still your love for me is stronger Than this sea of doubt My love for you is greater Than this ocean of doubt
