The Lee Shore    (Crosby)


Wheel gull spin and glide, you've got no place to hide
cause you don't need one

All along the lee shore shells lie scattered in the sand
Winking up like shining eyes at me, from the sea
Here is one like sunrise older than you know
It's still lying there where some careless wave forgot it long ago

When I awoke this morning, dove beneath my floating home
Down below her graceful side in the turning tide
to watch the sea fish roam
There I heard a story from the sailors of the Sandra Marie
There's another island a day's run away from here, empty and free

From here to Venezuela nothing more to see
than a hundred thousand islands flung like jewels upon the sea
for you and me
Sunset smells of dinner, women are calling at me to end my tales
But perhaps I'll see you the next quiet place I furl my sails
