From the recording Third Beach
Lyrics
I've been thinking about you lately
I even wrote your name in the sand
The tide is in the sun is up
Coffee’s cooling in my cup
It's time for me to leave dry land
The wind is coming up from the southwest
I'll loose the outhaul on the downwind run
The sails are flying as they should
When I'm on a course made good
I can see my landfall and the golden sand
Sail away
Off to some forgotten bay
Where the water’s calm the sand is warm
A peaceful shelter from the storm
Maybe I’ll just sail away
Remember that cold Christmas in New England
We watched the moonlight shining through the trees
We slept under a bed of down
Snowflakes falling all around
I kept you warm until we had to leave
Sail away
Off to some forgotten bay
Where the water’s calm the sand is warm
A peaceful shelter from the storm
Maybe I’ll just sail away
Now we stow our gear and set out on the ocean
Dive into the crystal blue sea
Our bodies moving with the waves
Drifting like the plans we made
Out on the water’s where we were meant to be
Sail away
Maybe off to some forgotten bay
Where the water’s clear the sand is warm
A peaceful shelter from our storms
You and I can sail away
