[VERSE]
I sail the ocean waters
My woman walks on sand
Her hopes turn into empty dreams
She tries to understand
I've faced the winds and the summer storms
And left them all behind
Windship take me to her
And I'll leave the sea this time

[CHORUS]
Oh, Windship dip beneath the waves
And part the ocean wide
Bend the mast and fill the sails
And catch the wind and fly
My woman's love waits far away
The east wind stirs the sea
Set the course and head for home
Oh, windship sail for me

[VERSE]
I've seen the days of the ocean spray
And felt the waves' caress
The sea has been my mistress
But today I love her less
Her face came to my sleepless mind
And lingered there for days
Windship take me to my love
'Cause I've been too long away

[CHORUS] (play twice, then [CODA])
Oh, Windship dip beneath the waves
And part the ocean wide
Bend the mast and fill the sails
And catch the wind and fly
My woman's love waits far away
An east wind stirs the sea
Set the course and head for home
Oh, windship sail for me

Set the course and head for home
A windship sails for me
