A wave crashes, a gull cries
its open soul to open skies
careening off on a salty breeze
flying on, its call a tease
The sun it warms, and brings the wind
Fills my sails as it cools my skin
Spin the wheel in anticipation
Finding unknown destinations
Dolphins playing upon my bow
Locks me in the here and now
Nothing matters but the sea
And a windy voice that's calling me
Seeing now just open ocean
The lands ahead are but a notion
Wind in hair, hands on the wheel
It's all I feel, it feels so real
Judge the seas with just one look
I can read the wind like an open book
This is my life, a life unplanned
on this ship of mine, this ship so grand.
The Salish Gypsy is her name
The Salish Sea is the one she'll tame
A steady hand to take the helm
A sturdy ship to sail this realm
