about

For my Dad! Who loves sailing.

lyrics

Ch. Sun is shining and the wind is rising
as the sails are filling and the boat is gliding
Storm is building and the waves are gathering
The boat is rolling and the birds are crying

1. Wind is dropping as the moon is rising
as you drop the anchor and your senses filling
With the smell of ocean and the sound of water
And the feel of saltiness upon your fingers

2. And as the salt smell lingers in the air
A single star is shining in the sky
A seabird passes by
And as you hear the old familiar sound
Of boat on water slapping, whistling wind
Between the rigging things

Ch.

3. And as you sit and watch a single cloud
And as it clothes the moon in silver light
Behold the sky at night
And as you wonder what it's all about
And watch the moonlight flicker in and out
As shadows fly about

Ch.

4. And as you sit and watch a single star
And let it shine a light on where you are
And even who you are
And as the East wind brings the call to rise
A flock of seabirds cross the Northern skies
The sunlight fills your eyes
Is it enough, for you to be, under the sky, over the sea
Is it enough, for you to be, under the sky, over the

Ch.

We're sailing on the wind under the sky over the sea
We're laughing with the clouds, sailing across the wide blue sea
We're flying with the wind under the sky over the sea .....
