The Lee Shore Lyrics


The Lee Shore
By David Crosby
From the Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young album "4 Way Street"Wheel gull spin and glide ... you've got no place to hide
'Cause you don't need oneAll along the Lee shore
Shells lie scattered in the sand
Winking up like shining eyes, at me
From the seaHere is one like sunrise
It's older than you know
It's still lying there where some careless wave
Forgot it long agoWhen I awoke this morning
I dove beneath my floating home
Down below her graceful side in the turning tide
To watch the sea fish roamThere I heard this story
From the sailors of the Sandra Marie
There's another island a day's run away from here
And it's empty and freeFrom here to Venezuela
There's nothing more to see
Than a hundred thousand islands

Flung like some jewels upon the sea
For you and meSunset smells of dinner
Women are calling at me to end my tales
But perhaps I'll see you, the next quiet place
I furl my sails

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young are a pioneering folk-rock supergroup that formed from the ranks of three 1960s bands: Stephen Stills and Neil Young from Buffalo Springfield, David Crosby from The Byrds, and Graham Nash from The Hollies. The band is primarily known for their four-part vocal harmonies. They have a strong association with the Woodstock Festival, having played their second gig there, and they are one of the few North American groups that rivalled The Beatles in popularity in the late 1960s and early 1970s. They are commonly referred to by their initials CSNY.

After the 1970 shootings at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio, Neil Young wrote "Ohio", a tribute to the four students who were shot by the Ohio National Guard. Many radio stations would not play the song "Ohio" because of the anti-war tone of the song. Even so, largely because of its topical nature, "Ohio" bumped "Teach Your Children", released three weeks earlier, from its ascent in the charts, replacing it on the popularity climb, ending at number fourteen, while "Teach Your Children" ended at number sixteen.

Neil Young was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1995. David Crosby, Stephen Stills, and Graham Nash were inducted in 1997.
