  • 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
    It's older than you know
    It's still just lying there
    Where some careless wave
    Forgot it long ago

    When I awoke this morning
    I dove beneath my floating home
    Down below her graceful side
    In the turning tide
    To watch the sea fish roam

    And there I heard this story
    From the sailors of the Sandra Marie
    There's another island, it's a day's run away from here
    It's 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 Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
