lyrics
FAIR WINDS
As the hours pass on a shadowy night
her thoughts drift towards the ocean
where moonlight draws a silvery sword
across her lonely heart
He sailed away one wintery morn
to work along the southern coast
They’d sworn their love with a fiery kiss
And the promises all lovers make
I will return
I will come back to you
I will return to hold you
in my arms
May a fair wind blow
to speed your way
and bring you back to me
safely, back to me
A year went by as every year had
on that quiet palm tree bay
Fair winds blew as she ran to the shore
the day his ship came in

Rebecca Richman
by Rebecca RichmanSoul-filled fiddling by an elusive, super-talented artist. This is great "trad" with tasteful guitar and keyboard accompaniment. "Sunday River Waltz" will make you teary-eyed.
