She Took the Wind from His Sails

Outer banks of North Carolina

Lies a sleepy harbor town

Generations of old sailors

Dropped their sails and settled downSam, he is a young seafarer

Grandson of a Schooner man

Catherine is a sail maker's daughter

Today he's gonna take her handCalm waters

Wish them well

His ship's come in

She's put the wind in his sailsCatherine is a canvas painter

Paints the sun and sand and sea

Lately she's been painting a portrait

Sammy is a dad to beCalm waters

Wish them well

His ship's come in

She's put the wind in his sailsJanuary brought the fever

Sam was right there by her side

Doctor told him, "Son I'm sorry

But Catherine needs your prayers tonight"Morning light brought Sam a daughter

Fever took his better half

Sam gave Catherine to the water

As he held their baby to his chestCalm waters

Wished him well

His ship came in

But she took the wind from his sails

His ship came in

But she took the wind from his sails
