A Sailor`s Christmas Lyrics

A Sailor`s Christmas
(Jimmy Buffett, Roger Guth)

A sail on the horizon`s got a land fall rendezvous
The captain steers a well known course he steers her straight and true
As he trims the sheets he sings a song he learned on boats and bars
"A sailor spends his Christmas in a harbour `neath the stars"

He`s traveled through the doldrums, typhoons and hurricanes
He`s logged a million soggy miles, with water on his brain
But Christmas is the season better suited for dry land
He`ll tell some lies, meet some spies and dance barefoot in the sand

Chorus:
A sailor spends his Christmas in a harbour on the hook
Cali, Calais no work today, let`s shelve the old log book
The waterfront is reveling, the season has begun
A sailor spends his Christmas in a harbour having fun.

There`s a party down at Le Select all music, rhum and cheers
Faces in the shadows, I haven`t seen for years
The masts and shrouds are filled with lights `neath the waning of the moon
There`s an air of celebration in the realm of King Neptune.

Chorus:

Instrumental bridge

Jesus was a fisherman who walked upon the sea
The North Pole is the ocean`s remote frozen balcony
The continents keep drifting but the children sing and play
Cause nothing really matters after all it`s Christmas day

Chorus
