~Come Sail Away~

Have a terrific weekend everyone!



The sea is calling my name...

KK. Make it a long one.

In America you´ll get food to eat
Won´t have to run through the jungle
And scuff up your feet
You´ll just sing about Jesus and drink wine all day
It´s great to be an American
Ain´t no lions or tigers-ain´t no mamba snake
Just the sweet watermelon and the buckwheat cake
Ev´rybody is as happy as a man can be
Climb aboard, little wog-sail away with me
Sail away-sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
Sail away-sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
In America every man is free
To take care of his home and his family
You´ll be as happy as a monkey in a monkey tree
You´re all gonna be an American
Sail away-sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
Sail away-sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay

- Randy Newman "Sail Away"

Have fun sailing this weekend AW.

hi amazon

nice to see you

Your ship will sink.

Hey Amazon Woman we never talked about sailing. I read some of your stuff about it. Sailed many moonlight miles myself here´s a favorite ;-)


Got out of town on a boat
Goin´ to Southern islands.
Sailing a reach
Before a followin´ sea.

She was makin´ for the trades
On the outside,
And the downhill run
To Papeete.

Off the wind on this heading
Lie the Marquesas.
We got eighty feet of the waterline.
Nicely making way.

In a noisy bar in Avalon
I tried to call you.
But on a midnight watch I realized
Why twice you ran away.

Chorus
Think about how many times
I have fallen

Spirits are using me
larger voices callin´.

What heaven brought you and me
Cannot be forgotten.

I have been around the world,
Lookin´ for that woman/girl,
Who knows love can endure.
And you know it will.
And you know it will.

When you see the Southern Cross
For the first time
You understand now
Why you came this way

´Cause the truth you might be runnin´ from
Is so small.
But it´s as big as the promise
The promise of a comin´ day.

So I´m sailing for tomorrow
My dreams are a dyin´.
And my love is an anchor tied to you
Tied with a silver chain.

I have my ship
And all her flags are a flyin´
She is all that I have left
And music is her name.

Chorus
Think about how many times
I have fallen

Spirits are using me
larger voices callin´.

What heaven brought you and me
Cannot be forgotten.

I have been around the world,
Lookin´ for that woma/girl,
Who knows love can endure.
And you know it will.
And you know it will.

So we cheated and we lied
And we tested
And we never failed to fail
It was the easiest thing to do.

You will survive being bested.
Somebody fine
Will come along
Make me forget about loving you.

At the Southern Cross.
thanks to csny

Thanks Rogue and WD! I´ll try to get some nice sunsets for ya!

AC ~ Only in your nightmares. However, if I do die at least I´ll be tanned well for my funeral. SEE YA!

I´ll be running my Cybershaman program today.

That´s a serious option in my plan HRM ~ I´d love to hear more about your adventures! Thanks for your post and I hope to see you again when I return.

Yep AC ~ You can bet on it, I´ll be back!

How convenient AW is around when the shit hits the fan.

Count me in. I know all the constellations and have some rudimentary celestial navigation skills, maybe that would be useful. But I gotta warn ya, if we find the right beach, you might never get me back out on the water again!

Ithought that they were angels, but much to my suprise-
we climbed aboard their starship, and headed for the skies....

33 ~ You got it!

RS ~ Very crucial navigation skills you have there. Maybe I can convince you to educate me in the near future?

Hey AW....

areonautical skills fit right in with
nautical ones.

I can even turn to a heading hehe

Have fun

Good to see people still smiling and still living life! Please don´t stop, it is contagious and much needed here.

Bernard Montessier the French singlehanded sailor taught me celestial navigation. Funniest thing was the whole time he taught me I kept thinking he´d lost like 3 boats on reefs. LOL he was a good teacher though rest his soul.

Where you headed out for?

Hey Tex

How very correct you are ~ whether it´s the wind underneath the wings or filling the sails, it´s the heading that matters most!

Fun it is! See ya soon...

~AW

That´s funny HRM! Kind of reminds me of the hairdresser who has the most godawful hairdo coming at me with scissors!

Anyway, I´m headed southwest to a small group of islands just offshore from the Clearwater coastline. Last time I was there they relit the old lighthouse and the anchorage was packed with sailboats that had gathered for the ceremony, quite a sight!

"Come Sail Away" off of the Album "The Grand Illusion" released in on 7/7/77


Album peaked at #6
Come Sail Away peaked at #8

Just remember that it’s a grand illusion
And deep inside we’re all the same.
We’re all the same...

America spells competition, join us in our blind ambition
Get yourself a brand new motor car
Someday soon we’ll stop to ponder what on earth’s this spell we’re under
We made the grade and still we wonder who the hell we are

As I depart ~

"The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails".

-William Arthur Ward

~I choose to be a realist~

AW,

Have a great adventure.

Thanks Kimberly and hope you have a terrific weekend! See ya soon.

Now I´ll find peace of mind
Finally found a way of thinking
Tried the rest, found the best
Stormy day won´t find me sinking

I can´t conceal it like I knew I did before
I got to tell you now, the ship is ready
Waiting on the shore

Dare to look, face the test
On the eve when you set sailing
What you´ve learned, what you´ve earned
Ship of joy will stop you failing

I can´t conceal it like I knew I did before
I got to tell you now, the ship is ready
Waiting on the shore

Wind is high, so am I
As the shore sinks in the distance
Dreams unfold, seek the gold
Gold that´s brighter than the sunlight
Sail away, see the day
Dawning on a new horizon
Gold´s in sight, shining bright
Brighter than the sun that´s rising

Three thousand sails on high are straining in the wind
A raging sea below
Is this voyage coming to an end?
