Raise the Sail - lyrics
(Greg Winkler)
I met you at the dock
I asked you where you’re going
They say a storm’s coming in today
They say a storm’s coming in
Your hand upon my shoulder
A smile across your face
You say you’ve been preparing for this day
And everything will be OK
When you raise the sail and catch the wind
Raise the sail and catch the wind
Move on to another shore and start where you begin
Raise the sail and catch the wind
You push off from the dock
You glide away so slowly
And I can’t hear what you say to me
I can’t hear what you say
And you move out of the harbor
Beyond the great breakwater
My tears blend in so gently with the sea
And through my tears I barely see
When you raise the sail and catch the wind
Raise the sail and catch the wind
Move on to another shore and start where you begin
Raise the sail and catch the wind
Now it’s me here on the dock
And you on the horizon
And the ocean seems so big today
The ocean seems so big
But I know the ship is strong
And I know the destination
And your words are in my head again
Your words live in my head
You said, “Raise the sail and catch the wind
Raise the sail and catch the wind
Move on to another shore and start where you begin
Raise the sail and catch the wind
Raise the sail and catch the wind
Raise the sail and catch the wind.”
