George Strait — She Took the Wind from His Sails

[Verse 1] Outer banks of North Carolina Lies a sleepy harbor town Generations of old sailors Dropped their sails and settled down [Verse 2] Sam, he is a young seafarer Grandson of a schooner man Catherine is a sailmaker's daughter Today he's gonna take her hand [Chorus] Calm waters wish them well His ship's come in She's put the wind in his sails [Verse 3] Catherine is a canvas painter Paints the sun and sand and sea Lately she's been painting a portrait Sam, he is a dad to be [Chorus] Calm waters wish them well His ship's come in She's put the wind in his sails [Verse 4] January brought the fever Sam was right there by her side Doctor told him, "Son, I'm sorry But Catherine needs your prayers tonight" [Verse 5] 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 [Chorus] Calm waters wish them well His ship's come in She's put the wind in his sails [Outro] His ship came in But she took the wind from his sails
