Sailor Boy (original)

Brand new song! I'll probably upload an improved version later, when I have more time.
Lyrics:

We walked in the windy city
G Em
That sailor boy and I
G Em
He took my hand along the sand
G Em
Said darlin', please don't cry Am D G
For I'll be back when the sea brings me
Em Am
And all the while, I'll love you


And though I know he loves me
I find that many a time
I'm kneelin' and praying
For the lord to take my life

But he'll be back when the sea brings him
And all the while, I'll love you

And though I have no way of knowing
Whether he lives or if he's dead
I keep watchin' that ocean
From my beach of sand

And imagine that the sea has brought him
And all the while, he loved me

Am C
Yes, I will wait for him
Am C
I'll love no other man
Am G Am
Till the sea has all run dry

Tonight I'll dream of my sailor boy
He'll run and take my hand
I'll be his young lass again
Like those years along the sand

I'll dream that the sea has brought him
And all the while, he loved me

ugh.. the timing of the video and the audio are all messed up.. oh well

@podro

She sounds more like Joan Baezto me. Baez's biggest hit is "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down", 1971. Type in her name and see what you think...

You write beutiful poetry my friend... Keep it up ;o)

Mark.....

[frozenwhitebear]

anyway, if one doesn't look at the unsynced video part one can hear the sound clearer, and it's really beautiful!! (sometimes I do this even with synced vids, lol)

[podro]

Very nice! both your voice and your musical style. Couldn't put my hand on who you remind me of, perhaps joni Mitchell - ah "Both Sides Now" - but I'm not sure if that's it. [Carepenters were great too - Top of the World".] Keep up the great stuff.

Actually I thought was sort of cool.it was sort of like the song was a video of a girl playing a guitar singing about a sailor with the singer in the background If that makes any sense to you. I wouldn't re post I would leave it the way it is. Sometimes things just happen for a reason.

@Lindscaldwell even so, it's a wonderful song...well done :)
