about

Marc Jonson’s long-awaited new single “Across The Night” is epic in musical proportion and rich in history. A tour de force from an artist at the height of his powers. You can almost smell the Atlantic as SS United States plows the sea leaving a tsunami of sound in its wake.

lyrics

She set sail in ‘52 / tourist class and well to do
movie stars and presidents / painters of significance

Chorus
as they sailed across the sea / on the ship of history
and the boat of stars and stripes / cuts on through just like a knife
steam ship United States /makes her way across night

all the people got on board / that’s the only way to go abroad
watching as the sun goes down
starts me reeling and I’m awe spellbound

Chorus
as they sailed across the sea /on the ship of history
and the boat of stars and stripes / cuts on through just like a knife
steam ship United States / she makes her way across night

Bridge
you feel the wind catch her in the hereafter

now she’s in retirement / some say it’s a predicament
she’s got to find a way again
remain near shore somewhere that’s permanent

Chorus
as they sailed across the sea /on the ship of history
as the boat of stars and stripes /cuts on through just like a knife

in the shallows of my dream / on the ship that’s in between
as the boat of stars and stripes / cuts on through just like a knife
SS United States / she makes her way to paradise
