Crosby, 1969



Wheel gull spin and glide -- you've no place to hide

Cause you don't need one

All along the lee shore shells lie scattered in the sand

Winking up like shining eyes - at me, from the sea

Here is one like sunrise older than you know

It's still lying there where some careless wave

Forgot it long ago

When I woke this morning

Dove beneath my floating home

Down below my graceful side

In hte tutrning tide

To watch the sea fish roam

There I heard a story from the sailors

Of the Sandra Marie

There's another island a days' run away from here

Empty and free

From here to Venezuela nothing more than to see

Than a hundred thousand islands

Flung like jewels upon the sea

For you and me

Sunset smells of dinner

Women are calling at me to end the tales

But perhaps I'll see you the next quiet place

I furl my sails
