SAILOR'S ADVICE
Music & Lyrics: Heather Alexander

Many’s the port and many’s the town
Many’s a soft place to lay your head down-
But finding the right one’s a hard thing to do
Chart your course as you may, but you might not pull through-

You may find her pretty, you may find her dear
Many’s the time that you held her quite near
But if life at the helm is where you place your hand
Then you can’t take her with you, if she’s wed to the land-

AFTER ALL THAT'S BEEN SAID, & ALL THAT'S BEEN DONE
YOU MAY FIND INSTEAD THAT SHE'S NOT THE RIGHT ONE
SO IT'S SMILES & A WINK, & IT'S “ANCHOR'S A-WEIGH”
AND GIVE THANKS FOR THE LOVE THAT YOU'VE HAD 'TIL TODAY!

Many’s the island you find out at sea
Many’s the shoreline where you’d like to be-
Hold fast to that dock for a year and a day
Let your heart then decide if you set sail or stay-

If your heart has been claimed by the wild ocean blue
Then sweet silent waters will not be for you-
Set your sights on the storm and the wind and the gale
And marry the one who will billow your sail!

AFTER ALL THAT'S BEEN SAID, & ALL THAT'S BEEN DONE
YOU MAY FIND INSTEAD YOU DON'T SEE THE RIGHT ONE
'CAUSE SHE'S WILD & SHE'S WILLFULL & FIGHTS YOU IN PLAY
BUT THAT LOVE THAT YOU STEER BY WILL FIND YOU YOUR WAY!
