Crosby & Nash Lee Shore Lyrics

All along the lee shore
Shells lie scattered in the sand
Winking up like shining eyes, at me
From the sea

Here is one like sunrise
It's older than you know
Still just lying there
With some careless wave
Forgot it long ago

When I awoke this morning
Dove beneath my floating home
Down below her graceful side in the turning tide
To watch the sea fish roam

And there I heard a story From the sailors of the Sandra Marie
There's another island a day's run away from here
It's empty and free

From here to Venezuela
There's nothing more to see
Than a hundred thousand islands
Flung like jewels upon the sea
For thee and me

The sunset smells of dinner
Women are calling me to end my tales
But perhaps I'll see you, the next quiet place
I furl my sails
