1
I was listening for answers
2
That I could not really hear
3
When the words of a wise old Indian
4
Put a conch shell to my ear
5
And I took off for the ocean
6
I was searching for the coast
7
Painting pictures of my vision
8
With the words from grandma ghost
9
Hiding from the dragons
10
Riding for the sea
11
Singing ballads from my childhood
12
"A pirate's life for me"
13
Survivors seem to function best
14
When peril is at hand
15
With a song of the ocean
16
Meets a salty piece of land
17
I was force-fed my religion
18
But I somehow saved my smile
19
Tapped into my instincts
20
As I headed to'ards exile
21
Cleopatra did not own a barge
22
But a schooner was her home
23
She has centuries of stories
24
And there's wisdom in her bones
25
She was on a sacred mission
26
And she told me of a place
27
Where a man can hide forever
28
But never loose his face
29
So I saddled up my seahorse
30
With a fly-rod in my hand
31
I was not looking for salvation
32
Just a salty piece of land
33
Somedays Cayo Loco SHIMMERS
34
Like the stars up in the sky
35
And the seabirds they do touch and gos
36
As the world just tangos by
37
But there are times when she is hidden
38
Beneath the wild and crashing waves
39
And the patron saint of lightening
40
Keeps the sailors from their graves
41
Some say it is a blinding sword
42
Pointing out into the sea
43
While others say her guiding light
44
Leads to'ards eternity
45
Still I sit in contemplation
46
And I just don't understand
47
This mysterious attraction
48
Of this salty piece of land
49
Still I search the constellations
50
And the tiny grains of sand
51
Where the song of the ocean
52
Meets the salty piece of land
