Paul Metsers 1983
Dutch-born Metsers moved from NZ to England in 1980, made 5 albums, and toured folk clubs extensively until 1989 when he retired from music to make wooden board games. This is from The Hurricane’s Eye where he writes about it “We often run out of time to carry out the plans we?ve made.’

It’s one day we’ll go sailing Just you my love and I We’ll take us down to the waters Where fair the waters lie Chorus And then with good intentions We’ll try our debts to pay But the sun will swing the seasons And ever win the day Then one day we’ll go climbing Get closer to the stars And pray that those in spaceships will leave them as they are Then one day we’ll start building We’ll take what comes to hand We’ll twine what needs entwining And bind what needs a band
