about

The last song that I wrote for the album was ‘I’ll find You Yet’. I had been messing around with a Joni Mitchell tuning in D major – she has written songs in over 52 different open tunings – which was also quite Hawaiian sounding. Shipley heard the budding song when I played it for him on a day-sail we took on Richard Gill’s trimaran Tevake. Mike thought I should develop the music into a song with lyrics, and that’s what I set out to do.

I had been feeling like there has to be somebody for everybody, and its just luck, grace, happenstance or whatever that brings potential lovers together, and that if you keep your heart and eyes open, then one day maybe, ‘I’ll Find You Yet’.

The song was used in the soundtrack for the feature film 'Beyond Paradise'.

lyrics

I'll Find You Yet

words & music Allan Thomas

I don't know how long
it's gonna take me
I only know that
I'll find you yet
maybe tomorrow
you never will know
I only ask that
I find you yet
I've seen you in a thousand dreams
I'd recognize you anywhere at all

I guess I'll have to
keep my heart wide open
and I'm gonna
keep the flame still burnin'
I'll find you yet

out on the horizon
the clouds of sunset
these things remind me
I can't forget
I know your out there
keep lookin' over my shoulder
and when I least expect
I'll find you yet

I've seen you in a thousand dreams
I'd recognize you anywhere at all

I guess I'll have to
keep my heart wide open
and I'm gonna
keep the flame still burnin'
I'll find you yet

you might be runnin'
down the beach in the rain
maybe I'll meet you in a hurricane
strange things happen
that you can't explain at all

I guess I'll have to
keep my heart wide open
and I'm gonna
keep this flame still burnin'
and though we haven't met
I'll find you yet
I'll find you yet
