The Minstrel Lyrics - Fogelberg Dan

There's a love in my life 

Neither mistress nor wife 

And she waits for me every morning by 

the sea 

Where the fishing hawk wheels 

And the sun warms the seals 

There she lays at her silent anchorage for me 

She is fine, she is fleet 

She will run, reach, or beat 

With a song in her rigging and her sails 

And when day is done 

We will lay to as one 

And sleep 'neath the rolling rhythm of 

the stars 

And we sail away 

Off to Jericho Bay 

Where the blue of the sea meets the sky 

And the songs that she sings me 

It brings me such peace 

When the seas rise up angry and high 

She's a friend of mine 

The minstrel 

There are loons off to port 

And the porpoises sport 

In her wake as she breaks the rolling main 

And with the wind in her sails 

We will run with the whales 

As they swim through their dark 

diminishing domain 

And we sail away 

Off to Jericho Bay 

Where the blue of the sea meets the sky 

And the songs that she sings me 

It brings me such peace 

When the seas rise up angry and high 

She's a friend of mine 

The minstrel
