Wind

The invisible hands of the wind Rises up from the blue sea Like fingers going thru my hair That brings comfort to me As I stand on the deck Head to my next destination The sea has been apart of life For many of my generations Once I feel in love in Iraq And never told her of my love within But I carry her in my heart As I sail away in the wind The sea will always be my home And how I love her for my wife I cannot ask her to join me To make sailing a part of her life Since a little boy in Trinidad I dream of meeting the girl Who is going to have all my love? And forever live in my soul Now that I have found her The storm in my heart become still But the dream of my happiness Will never be fulfill I know there are many of you Can understand what I say Of finding the love of your life But had to let them slip away And as I’m sailing in to Mexico Waiting for the morning to come I sit alone on deck Drinking a bottle of Trinidad rum Will get my supplies Then sail away again A lonely man in the sea and the wind is my only friend
