Sailin\' Home

I came across this really great sailing song and have been looking to find somewhere online where I can hear it, but to no avail.... I can find the lyrics, but can't seem to find the song being sung..... any ideas anybody?

SAILIN' HOME
(Nockovic / Parfitt / Tucakovic)

Piet Veerman - 1987
(Also recorded by: Demis Roussos)

Sailin' home across the ocean
Sailin' home, we're goin' to be free
Down below the crew's in motion
To defy the violence of the sea
Feelin' young, feelin' strong
At the height of the fight
So nothin' can go wrong
We know we always wanna be fightin' the sea

The giant waves are rollin' higher
It's gonna be a cold and rainy night
The hands on deck are raw and tired
Prayin' for a sign of distant light
Feelin' young and feelin' strong
And the might of the night
Is pounding dark and long
We know we always wanna be fightin' the sea

But there's the light and there's the fire
The harbour quay shines dimly on the shore
We can see the steeple's spire
And now we know we won the fight once more
Feelin' young and feelin' strong
And tonight came out right
Tomorrow could be wrong
We know we always wanna be fightin' the sea

So young, so strong, so hard and long
Feeling young and feeling strong
And tonight came out right
But tomorrow could be wrong
We know we always wanna be fightin' the sea
(Sailing home across the ocean)
(Sailing home, going to be free) Going to be free
(So young, so hard, so hard............FADE)

Not so keen on 'fighting the sea' - it usually wins. Some nice images, but a bit macho for those of us who are not so young . . . or indeed so hard and long

http:/I think this might be it. Never heard of it before, but a quick search found the Parfitt connection along with Piet Veerman. Thence to Youtube...

Re: Sailin\' Home

Superstrath..... thanks very much. That's the one! Thanks again.

Webcraft.... I must admit that the line about being 'so hard, so long' made me smile as well. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
