Elton John "Sails" lyrics

Sails

I viewed in my presenceMy hand on my foreheadAnd sighting the linersOf mad merchant seamenIn search of the livingOr the spices of China

Lucy walked gentlyBetween the damp barrelsAnd shut out my eyesWith the width of her fingersSaid she'd guessed the numberOf bales in the back room

While the seagulls were screamingLucy was eatingThen we hauled up our colorsThe way the mother had told usAnd together we just watched the sails

Lucy I saidIn a passage of cotton kegsCan we hold handsI'm sure that it's warmerThen the gulls ate the crumbsOf Lucy's sandwich

Here one can find the lyrics of the song Sails by Elton John. Or Sails poem lyrics. Elton John Sails text.
