[ intro in tonalita minore, arpeggio chitarra]

[ intro in tonalita minore, arpeggio chitarra] [verse1] Like stars on the dark sea, little boats with shining lights, an old fisherman is watching through the quiet night. Like stars upon the water, small boats drifting slow, they hold their silent secrets only sailors know only sailors know. [Verse 2] On my old wooden ship I am captain and crew, hands rough from salt and rope, there’s simple work to do. I pull in every net, I steer the weathered wheel, just me and the northern wind on this open sea so still, so still. [Pre-Chorus] In the middle of the night the waves rock me slow, and the cold north wind whispers as it blows. [Chorus] Now I wanna sail northbound, between the sky and sea, follow that silver horizon back where I should be. There’s a windy country calling, calling out my name, and I know I’ll find my home in that wind again. [assolo 32 battute chitarra e banjo] [Verse 3] Simple people, steady eyes, stone streets old and worn, the smell of wood and firelight, the place where I was born. And the wind comes up from Africa, hot or wild and free, they say God and the Devil fight over land and sea, over land and sea. [Chorus] Now I wanna sail northbound, between the sky and sea, follow that silver horizon back where I should be. There’s a windy country calling, between two rivers wide, underneath the mountains where my roots still lie. [Bridge] The horizon turns to red, then slowly into gold, the rising sun awakens a heart that’s growing old. [Final Chorus ] Yes, I’m heading north again, between the sky and sea, to that windy country that still remembers me. Strong or soft the wind may blow, whatever it may be, I’ll be home beneath those mountains… where I’m meant to be where i'm meant to be. [outo chitarra]
