Dan Fogelberg Lyrics
"The Minstrel"

There's a love in my life
Neither mistress or wife
And she waits for me every morning by the sea

Where the fishing hawk wheels
And the sun warms the seals
There she lays at her silent anchorage for me

She is fine, she is fleet
She will run, reach, or beat
With a song in her rigging and her sails

And when day is done
We will lay to as one
And sleep 'neath the rolling rhythm of the stars

And we sail away
Off to Jericho Bay
Where the blue of the sea meets the sky

And the song that she sings me
It brings me such peace
When the seas rise up angry and high

She's a friend of mine
The minstrel

There are loons off to port
And the porpoises sport
In her wake as she breaks the rolling main

And with the wind in her sails
We will run with the whales
As they swim through their dark diminishing domain

And we sail away
Off to Jericho Bay
Where the blue of the sea meets the sky

And the song that she sings me
It brings me such peace
When the seas rise up angry and high

She's a friend of mine
The minstrel
