Elton John

Elton John - Sails lyrics

Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Available on the album empty sky<br><br>I viewed in my presence<br>My hand on my forehead<br>And sighting the liners<br>Of mad merchant seamen<br>In search of the living<br>Or the spices of china<br><br>Lucy walked gently<br>Between the damp barrels<br>And shut out my eyes<br>With the width of her fingers<br>Said she'd guessed the number<br>Of bales in the back room<br><br>While the seagulls were screaming<br>Lucy was eating<br>Then we hauled up our colours<br>The way the mother had told us<br>And together we just watched the sails<br><br>Lucy I said<br>In a passage of cotton kegs<br>Can we hold hands<br>I'm sure that it's warmer<br>Then the gulls ate the crumbs<br>Of lucy's sandwich
