Blanket for a Sail Lyrics by Sara Watkins

Under the Pepper Tree

2021

[Verse 1]
Way out on the ocean
Far beyond the seven seas
There's a tiny little boat
Faith is keeping her afloat
And a tiny little skipper
With his worn and tattered coat
You see the laws of the ocean
Say that you shall never fail
Use your heart as a rudder
Faith as a compass
And a blanket for a sail
[Verse 2]
Sleep for the weary
And dreams for us all
Rest your head on a pillow
And I'll tell you a tale
Use your heart as a blanket
And a blanket for a sail
[Verse 3]
Way out on the ocean
Far beyond the seven seas
Thеre's a tiny little boat
Faith is keeping her afloat
And a tiny littlе skipper
With his worn and tattered coat
You see the laws of the ocean
Say that you shall never fail
Use your heart as a rudder
Faith as a compass
And a blanket for a sail
[Outro]
Use your heart as a rudder
Faith as a compass
And a blanket for a sail
