Christian Island Lyrics - All Live - Gordon Lightfoot

I'm sailing down the summer wind 

I got whiskers on my chin 

And I like the mood I'm in 

As I while away the time of day 

In the lee of Christian Island 

Tall and strong, she dips and reels 

I call her 'Silver Heels' 

And she tells me how she feels 

She's a good old boat and she'll stay afloat 

Through the toughest gale and keep smilin' 

But for one more day, she would like to stay 

In the lee of Christian Island 

I'm sailing down the summer day 

Where the fish and seagulls play 

I put my troubles all away 

And when the gale comes up, I'll fill my cup 

With the whiskey of the highlands 

She's a good old ship and she'll make the trip 

From the lee of Christian Island 

Tall and strong, she slips along 

I sing for her a song 

And she leans into the wind 

She's a good old boat and she'll stay afloat 

Through the toughest gale and keep smilin' 

When the summer ends, we will rest again 

In the lee of Christian Island 

When the summer ends, we will rest again 

In the lee of Christian Island
