I’m on a sailboat ride
see how she takes the wind
sea’s rolling off her side
far from where the tide comes in
I let the sea take me places I never have been
Stars dance upon the night
clouds balance on the wind
the phosphorescent light
of waters I can wander in
I let the sea take me places I never have been
There’s someone by my side
soft as a breeze from land
as sweet as wake is white
oceans sleep within her hand
I let the sea take me places that I understand
I was ten years old when I first heard this song, and I was mesmerized by visions of the ocean, sand, seashells, tropical islands, all conjured up in my mind while listening to this beautiful song... Even now, some 40 years later, I still find great pleasure in hearing "The Sailboat Song" yet again... Thank you for posting it.
