A Good Sailor Knows by The Insyderz Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 1998

[Verse 1]
Palm trees bending, sets are heavy
Over dams and over levees
God just sent a letter
For some it breeds anticipation
Talk of permanent vacation
Wise guys read the weather
The Good Book maps the big returning
Fire burns, in the heart's a yearning
Deeper than the ocean
"Surf's up!" cries the sinking swimmers
Clouds move in, and the light grows dimmer
Resolve in our devotion

[Chorus 1]
A good sailor knows
Which way the wind blows

[Verse 2]
The Word is heard, the earth is shaking
Trouble's stirred, and the waves are breaking o
Over every nation
But remember, my sons and daughters
Jesus walked upon the water
And faith is our vocation
So we know just where we're heading
The map and compass point to heaven
No time for indecision
(Arr! Arr! Arr! Arr! Arr! Arr!)
Though the water's deep, and the wind, it wails
Batten down the hatch and set the sails
We've got the right provisions
[Chorus 1]
A good sailor knows
Which way the wind blows
Ah ha ha ha!

[Trombone Solo]

[Bridge]
In the meantime, we'll be fishers of men
And our love line will find them and gently reel them in

[Verse 1]
Palm trees bending, sets are heavy
Over dams and over levees
God just sent a letter
For some it breeds anticipation
Talk of permanent vacation
Wise guys read the weather
(Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!)

[Chorus]
A good sailor knows
Which way the wind blows

[Chorus]
A good sailor knows
Which way the wind blows
Ah ha ha!
[Outro]
(A good sailor knows)
(A good sailor knows)
(A good sailor knows)
(A good sailor knows)
I think I see land, captain!
(A good sailor knows)
(A good sailor knows)
Dear Lord! Branwell's fallen over the port bow!
(A good sailor knows)
(A good sailor knows)
Does that look like an iceberg to you?
(A good sailor knows)
(A good sailor knows)
