Sails Lyrics - Empty Sky - Elton John

I viewed in my presence, my hand on my forehead 

And sighting the liners, of mad merchant seamen 

In search of the living or the spices of China 

Lucy walked gently between the damp barrels 

And shut out my eyes, with the width of her fingers 

Said she'd guessed the number of bales in the back room 

While the seagulls were screaming, Lucy was eating 

Then we hauled up our colors, the way the mother had told us 

And together we just watched the sails 

While the seagulls were screaming, Lucy was eating 

Then we hauled up our colors, the way the mother had told us 

And together we just watched the sails 

"Lucy", I said in a passage of cotton kegs 

"Can we hold hands, I'm sure that it's warmer" 

Then the gulls ate the crumbs of Lucy's sandwich
