I had a privilege of writing this song for my brother's beach wedding a few years ago. It combines his love for sailing with the romantic notion of sailing off into the sunset with the love of his life. This song was played as the sun set on the beach at the wedding and the style reflects that in its general mood. It spans the beginning of love through to the “till death us do part” words in the wedding vows. It is a beautiful reminder of true love as well as the beautify of sailing into the sunset.
I recorded this at home during lockdown and did all the production myself - a very steep learning curve, but one I loved every second of!
Whilst not the 'worship' music I usually write, this song is special to me and I am really excited to share it with you!
lyrics
Verse 1:
Come sail with me in the morning, come sail with me,
Come join me on this big adventure,
Wind waves and me.
Verse 2:
Come voyage across the ocean, come sail with me,
Though the wind may batter us daily
Together we'd be.
Chorus:
Ride the wind towards the horizon,
Ride the wind on the sails of this love,
Ride the wind towards the sunrise,
Where our love never dies.
Verse 3:
In the sunset we'll hold to each other, come sail with me,
Together set sail for tomorrow,
Where forever we'll be.
Chorus:
Ride the wind towards the horizon,
Ride the wind on the sails of this love,
Ride the wind towards the sunrise,
Where our love never dies. (x2)
Bridge:
I'll sail with you forever,
I'll sail with you
Where the winds of this life will take me,
I'll sail with you.
(x2)
Chorus:
Ride the wind towards the horizon,
Ride the wind on the sails of this love,
Ride the wind towards the sunrise,
Where our love never dies.
Chorus 2:
Ride the wind towards the horizon,
Ride the wind on the sails of this love,
Ride the wind towards the sunrise,
And I'll look in your eyes.
