The Minstrel

The Minstrel - Dan Fogelberg

Written by：D. Fogelberg

There's a love in my life neither mistress or wife

And she waits for me every morning by the sea

Where the fishing hawk wheels and the sun warms the seals

There she lays at her silent anchorage for me

She is fine she is fleet

She will run reach or beat

With a song in her rigging and her sails

And when day is done we will lay two as one

And sleep 'neath the rolling rhythm of the stars

And we sail away off to Jericho Bay

Where the blue of the sea meets the sky

And the song that she sings me it brings me such peace

When the seas rise up angry and high

She's a friend of mine the minstrel

There are loons off to port and the porpoises sport

In her wake as she breaks the rolling main

And with the wind in her sails we will run with the whales

As they swim through their dark

Diminishing domain

And they sail away off to Jericho Bay

Where the blue of the sea meets the sky

And the song that she sings me it brings me such peace

When the seas rise up angry and high

She's a friend of mine the minstrel
