A fine little girl
She waitin, for me
Catch a ship across the sea
I sail that ship all alone
We never think
How I.ll make it home
Thee nights and days
I sailed the sea
Me think that girl constantly
On that ship
I dream she there
I smell the rose
In her hair
from the 50,s Richard Berry..Louie Louie.....made famous by the Kingsmen in the 60,s

 

[K Douglas]

I'll climb the highest hill
Cross the widest sea
Nothing could discourage me
And I'll pray that you will be
Always there for me
Forever more

Ready or Not - After 7

 

[kherg007]

Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands on golden stand
And watches the ships that go sailing

Somewhere, beyond the sea
She's there watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Then, straight to her arms, I'll go sailing

Bobby Darin version- "Beyond the sea"

 

[ogibowt]

am i breaking protocal by posting the song?....if i am i wont do it again

There,s a place I know
Where lovers go
Down by the sea
There,s not a sound
There,s no one else around
Except the birds in the trees
There,s a moon that shines
So clear and bright
All through the night there,s a guiding star
Waiting to guide you
Straight to paradise
Wilson Pickett..Down By The Sea

 

[fromtheshwa]

When I was a young boy
I wanted to sail around the world
That's the life for me
Living on the sea

Spirit of a sailor
Circumnavigates the globe
The lust of a pioneer
Will acknowledge no frontier

I remember you by, thunderclap in the sky
Lightning flash, tempers flare
'Round the horn if you dare
I just spent six months in a leaky boat
Lucky just to keep afloat

(Split Enz - 6 Months in a Leaky Boat)

 

[bluebro69]

Whistling tunes
We hide in the dunes by the seaside
Whistling tunes
We're kissing baboons in the jungle
It's a knockout

If looks could kill, they probably will
In games without frontiers, war without tears

(Peter Gabriel -- Games Without Frontiers)

 

[IFUSEEKAMY]

As you sail across the sea, all my love is there beside you
In Capri or Amsterdam, Honolulu or Siam
To the harbour of my heart I will send my love to guide you
As I call across the sea, come home to me
Sailor, stop your roaming
Sailor, leave the sea
Sailor, when the tide turns, come home safe to me

(Petula Clark — Sailor)

 

[K Douglas]

First the tide rushes in
Plants a kiss on the shore
Then rolls out to sea
And the sea is very still once more
So I rush to your side
Like the oncoming tide
With one burning thought
Will your arms open wide

Ebb Tide - Righteous Brothers (1965)

 

[IFUSEEKAMY]

Red sails in the sunset way out on the sea
Oh carry my loved one home safely to me
She sailed at the dawning
All day I've been blue
Red sails in the sunset, I'm trusting in you

(The Platters — Red Sails in the Sunset)

 

[hoilem]

'Cause we are going for it
Taking all the tiny thread
Weave them into sails
And send our hopes off in the wind

We are starting fresh now
Starting fresh like blooming spring
Send the green grass up and oh
Cover winter's memory

Set Sail - The Boat Song

 

[bluebro69]

Green grass 'round my window
Young leaves that the wind blows
Yes, it's springtime, golden sunshine
And we're glad my little love and I
Now that summertime is nigh

Carefree kissin' couples
Dream away all their troubles
'Cause it's springtime, golden sunshine
While the bluebirds sing their magic song
We will love the summer long

(Gary Lewis and the Playboys -- Green Grass)

 

[K Douglas]

There are so many good things to see, while grazin' in the grass
(Grazin' in the grass is a gas, baby, can you dig it?)
Flowers with colors for takin', everything outta sight, in the grass
(Grazin' in the grass is a gas, baby, can you dig it?)

The sun beaming down between the leaves
(Grazin' in the grass is a gas, baby, can you dig it?)
And the bir-ir-ir-irds dartin' in and out of the trees
(Grazin' in the grass is a gas, baby, can you dig it?)

Grazin' in the Grass by Friends of Distinction

 

[kherg007]

Here we stand
Like an Adam and an Eve
Waterfalls
The Garden of Eden

Two fools in love
So beautiful and strong
The birds in the trees
Are smiling upon them

From the age of the dinosaurs
Cars have run on gasoline
Where, where have they gone?
Now, it's nothing but flowers

There was a factory
Now, there are mountains and rivers
You got it, you got it
We caught a rattlesnake
Now, we got something for dinner
We got it, we got it
There was a shopping mall
Now, it's all covered with flowers
You've got it, you've got it
If this is paradise
I wish I had a lawnmower
You've got it, you've got it

Years ago
I was an angry young man
I'd pretend
That I was a billboard
Standing tall
By the side of the road
I fell in love
With a beautiful highway
This used to be real estate
Now, it's only fields and trees
Where, where is the town?
Now, it's nothing but flowers

Talking Heads "(Nothing but) flowers"

 

[IFUSEEKAMY]

So take a look at this sunflower standing so tall
Isn't it pretty? It started so small
But it kept growing and it never stopped
Cuz it's just love, water and sunshine that makes it so high
It's not looking down on me, it shows me the sky

(NicePeter — Sunflower Song)

 

[fromtheshwa]

His sister's a friend
She's like a relative to both
Obliged to her brother
Under silhouetted oath
But she's there for the two
With her bias undone
And she'll help see it through
Under moonlight or sun

But today they've still yet
To look each other in the eye
And in a second he manages to dip
To the other side
Up to the people of the sky
And now he'll never die

(Sloan - People of the Sky)

 

[IFUSEEKAMY]

Blown blown blown round by the wind
Thrown thrown thrown down in a spin
I gave you love I thought that we had made it to the top
I gave you all I have to give
Why did it have to stop?
You've blown it all sky high by telling me a lie
Without a reason why you’ve blown it all sky high

(Jigsaw — Sky High)

 

[ogibowt]

When I die and lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that,s the best
When i lay me down to die
Goin, up to the spirit in the sky

Norman Greenbaum..Spirit In The Sky 1970

 

[K Douglas]

All this machinery making modern music
Can still be open-hearted
Not so coldly charted
It's really just a question of your honesty
Yeah, your honesty
One likes to believe in the freedom of music
But glittering prizes and endless compromises
Shatter the illusion of integrity, yeah

The Spirit of the Radio - Rush

 

[hoilem]

And now, we're standing here with blood on our hands
You tear me open and dig through my chest
I'm so sad and cold with the spaces you left
I stitch up my heart again and lay this to rest
To rest

Bilmuri - Near

 

[ogibowt]

I see you walk with him
i see you talk to him
It tears me up
it tears me up
And start my eye to crying
Oh i can,t stop crying

Percy Sledge ItTears Me Up 1966
