Sailboats Lyrics by Ian David Green

Songs of the Sea

0

Water at sunrise, cliffs gave a view
My father beside me, in silence we knew
How foolish to curse some god who’s not there
For crosses we never decided to bear
No choice but to stand, two shapes on the sand
As the strength left his hand and he fell to the spray
And drifted away
Another sailboat on the bay
Sit not by my grave, son, gaze not to the sea
My father will live in the man you will be
And your sorrow will not profit me
What more then to say?
We all must one day
Make our own way
Another sailboat on the bay
