She Took The Wind From His Sails Lyrics

(Dean Dillon - Donny Kees)

Outer banks of North Carolina
Lies a sleepy harbor town
Generations of old sailors
Dropped their sails and settled down
Sam he is a young seafarer
Grandson fo a schooner man
Catherine is a sailmaker's daughter
Today he's gonna take her hand.

(Calm waters)
(Wish them well)
His ship's come in
She's put the wind in his sails.

Catherine is a canvas painter
Paints the sun and sand and sea
Lately she's been painting a portrait
Sammy is a dad to be.

(Calm waters)

His ship's come in
She's put the wind in his sails.

January brought the fever
Sam was right there by her side
Doctor told him son I'm sorry
Catherine needs your prayers tonight.

Morning light brought Sam a daughter
Fever took his better half
Sam gave Catherine to the water
As he held their baby to his chest.

(Calm waters)
(Wished him well)
His ship came in
But she took the wind from his sails.

His ship came in
But she took the wind from his sails...
