She Took The Wind From His Sails - George Strait

Outer banks of North Carolina

Lies a sleepy harbor town

Generations of old sailors

Dropped their sails and settled down

Sam he is a young seafarer

Grandson fo a schooner man

Catherine is a sailmaker’s daughter

Today he’s gonna take her hand

Calm waters

Wish them well

His ship’s come in

She’s put the wind in his sails

Catherine is a canvas painter

Paints the sun and sand and sea

Lately she’s been painting a portrait

Sammy is a dad to be

January brought the fever

Sam was right there by her side

Doctor told him son I’m sorry

But Catherine needs your prayers tonight

Morning light brought Sam a daughter

Fever took his better half

Sam gave Catherine to the water

As he held theit baby to his chest

His ship came in

But she took the wind from his sails
