From the recording Retrospective
Lyrics
Wind Across the Jetty
Old man and the boy head home from
fishing
Little fingers grab a calloused hand
Take one last look at the water
Then they make their way across the
sand
Pretty girl is wading in the ocean
She tries to hold her blowing hair
Waves are breaking all around her
She shields her eyes to cut the glare
Chorus
And there’s a wind across the jetty
There’s a sail headed out to sea
There’s a golden light, from the sun
that’s just now setting
There’s a magic moment that calls to
me
High tide is rushing through the inlet
Line of boats racing home
Salty spray on the horizon
Lonely seagull above the foam
Little pipers running on the shoreline
Barefoot lovers in the faded light
A few last sparkles on the water
Give way to stars up in the night
Chorus
It’s been so long that I’ve been traveling
So far away from the place I know
It won’t be long before I find my way
Back to that little place I go
