Subject: Lyr Add: SAILORS ALL (Ewen Carruthers)
Here's a song with the same title. Is it the one you're seeking? Going by title alone (or title and artist, even) is a bit risky. Better to supply what you know of the song, when you request it.
SAILORS ALL (Ewen Carruthers)
Watch how the morning comes, the whole world over; Turning the sea foam, from Rio to Dover. Each harbor with its ships All trimmed and ready, Hoping the offshore winds Will blow them steady.
And we are sailors all Until we've landed We are both great and small, Sailors all.
And those who fear the storm May not go farther; They will sail round and round, Within their own harbors. If those who brave the seas, Believing they've landed, They put down among the reeves, And find they are stranded.
And we are sailors all Until we've landed We are both great and small, Sailors all.
And some may reach their lands, While others may perish, Each taking memories Of journeys they cherished.
And we are sailors all Until we've landed We are both great and small, Sailors all.
And we are sailors all Until we've landed We are both great and small, Sailors all. Sailors all, Sailors all, Sailors all, Sailors all.
