Eagles Pointe

EAGLE'S POINTE copyright ROBB CAIRNS

It was windy in the harbor,
So early in the day
I thought that I'd go take a walk
Along the old North bay.
How was I to know the ships were in?
How many times they brought me in
To the Eagle's Pointe.

All along the waterfront,
The sailors all rolled in
Smelling like the salty sea,
Thirsty for their gin.
Everyone of them ready for a fight
Planning to drink away the night.
At the Eagle's Pointe.

AND WE'RE OUT TO SEA
YES, WE'RE OUT TO SEA
YES, WE'RE OUT TO SEA AGAIN.

All that I remember,
Is written in the wind
The sails that blow, the ships that go
Out and don't come in.
Hear the waves crashing in the night
Seagulls soaring thru moonlight
At the Eagle's Pointe.

Many are the ladies,
Who waited for their man
Who'd go to sea, relentlessly
While they stayed home on land
Many lonely nights out on the pier
Wishing that their true love was near
To the Eagle's Pointe.

It's been a hundred days,
Since we last set foot on land
The crew's revolt on this small boat
The Captain lost command
Fighting off the storms from every side
Hoping to find a place to hide
Like the Eagle's Pointe.

Suddenly, at daybreak
We cast our eyes ashore
Our mast was down, our sails gone
From the seas before
Half believing what was in our sight
Last night's winds must have set us right
To the Eagle's Pointe.

AND WE'RE SAILING HOME
YES, WE'RE SAILING HOME
YES, WE'RE SAILING HOME AGAIN.
