Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young Lyrics
"Sanibel"

There's a ship
And its sails a sea of light
On its way to me tonight
From a distant shore
Taking me home once more

And the waves
And the whistling of the wind
Make me come alive again
My destiny's at the door

Going to leave this town forever
And go where I'll never
Need an overcoat no more, where they cry...

Ooh lalalala, every night and every day
Sitting by the gulf coast just a thousand miles away,
Where they cry...
Ooh lalalala, on an island I will dwell
Starlit nights in paradise on the isle of Sanibel

There's a girl
And I see her dressed in white
As she lies there in the night
I can hear her cry
Where has he gone and why?

But she knows
That someday he will arrive
And it keeps her love alive
Dreams can never die

She looks across the ocean
At sails in motion
In the early morning sky, where they cry...

Ooh lalalala, every night and every day
Sitting by the gulf coast just a thousand miles away,
Where they cry...
Ooh lalalala, on an island I will dwell
Starlit nights in paradise on the isle of Sanibel

Angels of the water, sirens of the sea
Whispering their sweet love songs
Calling out to me

Ooh lalalala, every night and every day
Sitting by the gulf coast just a thousand miles away,
Where they cry...
Ooh lalalala, on an island I will dwell
Starlit nights in paradise on the isle of Sanibel
Spend my life in paradise on the isle of Sanibel
