Outer banks of North Carolina
|
Lies a sleepy harbor town
|
Generations of old sailors
|
Dropped their sails and settled down
|
Sam he is a young seafarer
|
Grandson fo a schooner man
|
Catherine is a sailmaker's daughter
|
Today he's gonna take her hand
|
|
Calm waters
|
Wish them well
|
His ship's come in
|
She's put the wind in his sails
|
|
Catherine is a canvas painter
|
Paints the sun and sand and sea
|
Lately she's been painting a portrait
|
Sammy is a dad to be
|
|
Calm waters
|
Wish them well
|
His ship's come in
|
She's put the wind in his sails
|
|
January brought the fever
|
Sam was right there by her side
|
Doctor told him son I'm sorry
|
But Catherine needs your prayers tonight
|
Morning light brought Sam a daughter
|
Fever took his better half
|
Sam gave Catherine to the water
|
As he held theit baby to his chest
|
|
Calm waters
|
Wished him well
|
His ship came in
|
But she took the wind from his sails
|
|
His ship came in
|
But she took the wind from his sails
|
