All along the lee shore shells lie scattered in the sand Winking up like shining eyes - at me, from the sea Here is one like sunrise older than you know It's still lying there where some careless wave Forgot it long ago When I woke this morning Dove beneath my floating home Down below my graceful side In hte tutrning tide To watch the sea fish roam There I heard a story from the sailors Of the Sandra Marie There's another island a days' run away from here Empty and free From here to Venezuela nothing more than to see Than a hundred thousand islands Flung like jewels upon the sea For you and me Sunset smells of dinner Women are calling at me to end the tales But perhaps I'll see you the next quiet place I furl my sails
