Christian Island — текст песни (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 gales 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 gales 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 gales and keep smilin`
When the summer ends we will rest again
In the lee of Christian Island
