I viewed in my presence
My hand on my forehead
And sighting the liners
Of mad merchant seamen
In search of the living
Or the spices of China
Lucy walked gently
Between the damp barrels
And shut out my eyes
With the width of her fingers
Said she'd guessed the number
Of bales in the back room
While the seagulls were screaming
Lucy was eating
Then we hauled up our colors
The way the mother had told us
And together we just watched the sails
Lucy I said
In a passage of cotton kegs
Can we hold hands
I'm sure that it's warmer
Then the gulls ate the crumbs

(John Hall - Johanna Hall)
Sails are just like wings, you can fly from things
Run before the wind, Lord let it blow
Let it rock me slow while I sleep below
Dreaming dreams that only sailors know.
It will soothe your mind smooth away your lines
Set your clock back on your own time
If you sail with me we will find the sea
We will find our love over again.
--- Instrumental ---
It will soothe your mind smooth away your lines
Set your clock back on your own time
If you sail with me we will find the sea
We will find our love over again.

You call you call
The tv’s up the lights are on
You say you say
I miss you how work was today
You’re gone you’re gone
Some corporate thing away from home
Though I know I know
I ask when you return again
It’s just I need a little
extra sun these days
Or a few hours sleep
to take more time away
I need a little push
I wanna go higher
I need just a little bit of wind
I’ve just not been myself
How ‘bout a little push
I’m sittin’ in a puddle
I could use a little bit of wind
To put back in my sails
I walk I take a walk it’s nice
When you break things down
Things are all right
I guess I need
Something to get me out of this
How about a push?
I wanna go higher
Things seem to be okay here
I’ve just not been myself
Give us a push
Sitting in a puddle
I could use a little bit of wind
To wrap around my sails
It’s just I need a little
extra sun these days
Or a few hours sleep
to take more time away
How ‘bout a push
Or news from the outside world
Days go on as usual
I’ve just not been myself
I need a little push
A bit of inspiration
I could use a little pick-me-up
To get the wind back in my sails
A push
Just sitting in a puddle
I need just a little wind

Citizens of a starless sky have stolen the sun and held it for ransom,
an endless greed unsatisfied
Can see the blood on their hands does more than just feed them,
it's there for a reason because for all we know
All this is just a dream, things are not exactly as they seem,
save time to sit back and have a drink
Another man might just believe what he's told,
I'm on my way to being bought and sold, can't wait to measure
My blood out in gold and platinum sales, so drink the ocean(wine), drink it down
The past is far gone replaced by this moment,
we're shadows of ourselves confined to shelves with nothing left to say
Content to fade away and for all we know,
all this is just a dream things are not exactly as they seem
Save time to sit back and have a drink,
forgetting is easy without any soul with each empty promise it keeps getting old
Learning to measure my blood out in gold and platinum sales,
or have I just failed, lost sight of the trail
If all this is just a dream things might not be quite as bad as they seem,
I'd probably sit back and have a drink
Another man might just believe what he's told,
but I'm on my way to being bought and sold

Sails are just like wings, you can fly from things
Run before the wind, Lord, let it blow
Let it rock me slow while I sleep below
Dreaming dreams that only sailors know
And it will soothe your mind, smooth away your lives
Set your clock back on your own time
If you sail with me, we will find the sea

Like pirates off your shores of waste
Our kiss you can forget
A newborn sense of smell and taste
For things you've never met
Our nose no longer knows the heel of
Give it more and give it faster
Our pleasures still retain their feel for honor is their master
Three winds fill the sails of my sisters and my brothers
Grace from beyond, scorn from behind,
And love for each other
God of all gods father of each holy one
God of all gods father of each lowly one
God of all gods like a mother to the orphaned ones
God of all gods wholly other to the broken half of me
Dim memory brings the shade of lesser days around me
Back before the waking, the time of my founding
Dark was the heart with but it's own desires
When a god will not be tamed, man will serve a liar
From the shores i saw the sails of my
Sisters and my brothers
Left hehind the old life, born into another
Eighteen years upon these waves storm, salt, and pounding
I wouldn't trade a minute of the seeing or the doubting
Alive i am in the teeth of faith, few answers i have found
But the call that brings me back to life, to it i am bound
Three winds fill the sails of my sisters and my brothers
Grace from beyond, scorn from behind,
