Enjoy the music! - Bill THE SAILORS WAY by bill jardine The ocean is a haunting place its no place man should be But since Ive been a little boy its called out to me Now Im a man whos lost at sea 1000 miles from home 1000 times Ive said goodbye and left you all alone But I feel your love yes you are here with me Im looking at a photograph of you when you married me When I held you hand and promised I would be The portrait of a family man whod never go to sea But how the winds of change start blowing through your heart And help you rearrange the person who you are Theres a power and a glory that leads you through your days Its the story of a life that is the sailors way The captain yells all hands on deck the gail shes gonna blow Faster and more deeply felt then weve every known The ship she grinds and aches and moans and calls each of our names Im lying in my little bunk whispering your name Cause I feel your love cause you are here with me Im looking at a photograph of you when you married me When I held you hand and promised I would be The portrait of a family man whod never go to sea God bless the sailors home God bless the great unknown God bless the wives and moms God bring our sailors back Safe home The headlines read men lost at sea the searchers did their best The captain and eight of his mates went down to Davies chest The ship rolled forward down to port - we scrambled to the aft With just enough time for three brave souls to make it to the raft The ocean tossed and swayed our craft our awakened minds we met Toe to toe three little lights we rode the foaming crest But I feel your love cause you are here with me Im looking at a photograph of you when you married me When I held you hand and promised I would be The portrait of a family man whod never go to sea But how the winds of change start blowing through your heart And help you rearrange the person who you are Theres a power and a glory that leads you through your days Its the story of a life that is the sailors way The ocean is a lonely place its no place man should be But since Ive been a little boy its been my destiny Ive been a man lost at sea 1000 miles from home The portrait of the sailors way - one life - one love - alone
