lyrics

The Call

I’m but a sailor made of hope, blue and green
pride for my home and for my family
I have sailed through New England to the Ohio
down through Virginia and back up to my home

Winds filled my sails, the rains leave me clean
tides pushed and pulled me through all that I have seen
I am not far from my family we all with eyes of blue
and I will stay in Rhode Island, until my time is through

But I'll wait for the cannon, I'll wait for the call
I’ll wait for the cannon, I’ll wait for the call

As the sun rises light echoes on the sand
Fields of my memory come to me again
as a boy delivered papers, the hens laid their eggs
a mother turned to Jesus kneeling by the bed

But I'll wait for the cannon, I'll wait for the call
I’ll wait for the cannon, I’ll wait for the call

I watch the sunset fading away
My lights, my shadows settle into grey
oh this hull has stayed this ocean for o’er a century
and now I turn my love to you and life to set me free

But I'll wait for the cannon, I'll wait for the call
I’ll wait for the cannon, I’ll wait for the call
