Judy Collins - Sailor'S Life lyrics

rate me

Just like the sailor on leave from the ship

I am caught in the wind on the shore.

Rain on my face and nowhere a trace of a friend or a foe.

Out on the river the boats are leavin'

Headin' for Singapore engines blowin'

Everyone knows where they're headed

With their face to the wind and future.

Sail with me oh my love on a river of darkness

To a shore of light through the clouds in the sky

See the shape of the unicorn fly

See the cut of his wings

Here the song that his ancient voice sings Oooh

Stood in the light of a lamp on the corner

And looked at the shadows

Wondering how I could ever go home again.

Out on the river the boats are singing

Scrap pf a song I remember from England.

Trust your face to the wind and future.

Sail with me

How did I find myself here in the dark

Of deserted shipwrecks

Turning my collar back against the cold.

Out on the river the fireworks shining

Sound of a train whistle whining and crying

Turn your face to the wind and the future.

Sail with me
