GORDON LIGHTFOOT - Christian Island lyrics
rate meI'm sailing down the summer wind<br>I got whiskers on my chin<br>And I like the mood I'm in<br>As I while away the time of day<br>In the lee of christian island<br>Tall and strong she dips and reels<br>I call her silver heels<br>And she tells me how she feels<br>She's a good old boat and she'll stay afloat<br>Through the toughest gales and keep smilin'<br>But for one more day she would like to stay<br>In the lee of christian island<br><br>I'm sailing down the summer day<br>Where the fish and seagulls play<br>I put my troubles all away<br>And when the gales comes up I'll fill my cup<br>With the whiskey of the highlands<br>She's a good old ship and she'll make the trip<br>From the lee of christian island<br><br>Tall and strong she slips along<br>I sing for her a song<br>And she leans into the wind<br>She's a good old boat and she'll stay afloat<br>Through the toughest gales and keep smilin'<br>When the summer ends we will rest again<br>In the lee of christian island
