Sea Lady

Kenny Wheeler, Norma Winstone

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Waking on the shore
To find the sand is cold
A smile is on his lips
But soon the smile is old
He looks to see her there
She waits for him to come
But he will turn away
It's easier for some

[Verse 2]
And life's tormented seas
Will carry her away
He knows he'll never be
The one to make her stay
She swims just out of reach
Where all his hopes are pinned
And courage blows away
Like anger in the wind
In the wind

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Life's tormented seas
Will carry her away
He knows he'll never be
The one to make her stay
She swims just out of reach
Where all his hopes are pinned
And courage blows away
Like anger in the wind

[Verse 3]
For waking on the shore
To find the sand is cold
A smile is on his lips
But soon the smile is old
And all the songs she sings
He'll never understand
She's shouting at the wind
He's rooted to the land

[Outro]
She's shouting at the wind
Just shouting at the wind
Shouting at the wind
