What's fabulous? "The Sailor's Prayer"?

I know it is. One of my favorites. Ten years ago, when my mother was dying, I don't know how I could have gotten through the days without it.

It's a modern song, but I cannot, at the moment, remember who wrote it, but I believe the full lyrics are in the DT, if you can get there.

Gordon Bok does a wonderful cover of it on his album Rougue's Gallery of Song for the Twelve String, which is how I first heard it.
