Subject: RE: Need a seafaring love song
"Sailor home from the Sea" - a poem by Australian Dorothy Hewitt, set to music by Martyn Wyndham-Read has to be one of the most evocative of love songs with a seafaring connection.

Cyril Tawney wrote quite a few naval love songs, beside "Grey Funnel Line" there's "Sally Free and Easy", "The Oggie Man", "Suit of Grey" etc.

Ian Wood's "One more pull" is also a cracker of a song.
