She Took the Wind From His Sails Lyrics

"She Took the Wind from His Sails"
by George Strait from the album "George Strait"
Intro: D A
Outer banks of North Carolina
Lies a sleepy harbor town
Generations of old sailors
Dropped their sails and settled down
Sam he is a young seafarer
Grandson of a schooner man
Catherine is a sail makers daughter
Today hes gonna take her hand
Chorus:
Calm waters
Wish them well
His ships come in
Shes put the wind in his sails
Catherine is a canvas painter
Paints the sun and sand and sea
Lately shes been painting a portrait
Sammy is a dad to be
Repeat chorus
January brought the fever
Sam was right there by her side
Doctor told him son Im sorry
But Catherine needs your prayers tonight
Morning light brought Sam a daughter
Fever took his better half
Sam gave Catherine to the water
As he held their baby to his chest
Calm waters
Wished him well
His ship came in
But she took the wind from his sails
His ship came in
But she took the wind from his sails
