Liner Notes

#needsmusic #needscollab #seashanty?

the title came into my head on the way to work and just kept singing it over and over. Pictured the big pirate/tall ships of history. Got to the office and jotted it down... before coffee!!

Edit: Just reread and think it's kind of long... but hard to make that call without music.

Lyrics

Intro
Praying for clear sailing
Praying for clear sailing
Praying for clear sailing every day
When the sun sinks in the sea
Hope that never will be me
Praying for clear sailing every day

V I
Praying for clear sailing
Praying for clear sailing
Praying for clear sailing every day
Said farewell to our families
Setting out on the high seas
Praying for clear sailing every day

C
When the sun sinks in the sea
Hope that never will be me
Praying for clear sailing every day

V II
Oh Praying for clear sailing
We’re Praying for clear sailing
Praying for clear sailing everyday
Stand in the rigging oh so tall
Each one can hear the call
Praying for clear sailing everyday

C
When the sun sinks in the sea
Hope that never will be me
Praying for clear sailing every day

V III
Oh We’re Praying for clear sailing
Yes, Praying for clear sailing
We’re Praying for clear sailing every day
Please a clear night for our star
Lead us as we go afar
Praying for clear sailing everyday

Bridge?
Our good Captain, a seaman’s sage
A True guide when oceans rage
Our wind whipped ship, storms guan-ta-let
And cannonade of rain,
Brings us to the clearing skies
And we’ll be turning up our eyes
Praying for clear sailing everyday

V IV
Praying for clear sailing
Oh we’re, Praying for clear sailing
We’re Praying for clear sailing every day
We see the gulls there circling high
Know home port is nigh
We’re Praying for clear sailing everyday

Outro
Yes, Praying for clear sailing
We’re Praying for clear sailing every day
When the sun sinks in the sea
Hope that never will be me
Praying for clear sailing every day
