Many Miles To Cross Albatross

Tasting the breeze High in the clouds she glides Fjords far below Ebbing and flowing on tides White sanded beaches Skirt azure blue waters Sheep tread the hillsides On green rolling pastures Peaks on mountains Still capped with soft white snow Though it's late June Icy cold winds still blow Sailing through silence So many miles to cross Beautiful lonely Flight of an Albatross Oooohhhhhh........fly...... Albatross Miles to cross....... Oooohhhhhh....... so many miles to cross Albatrosss........ Touching heaven As whales swim far below Look to the skies Northern lights play in full flow Always she's climbing So many miles to cross Gliding on thermals Flight of an Albatross Oooohhhhh........I spy the albatross Miles to cross...... Oooohhhhh....... so many miles to cross Albatross....... Many miles to cross to reach the horizon Hmmmmmmmmmm far far away Where sky meets the sea while morning sun rises Albatross hmmmmmm please won't you stay Oooohhhhh........I see the albatross Miles to cross...... Oooohhhhh....... so many miles to cross Albatross........ Jane Shields (C)
