Song Lyrics:

Last Sail
Lyrics and Music by Jack Miller 2007

Southern sunset, darkness was falling
And the waves laid gently down
Crew and boat were ready for that cruise
For the, the wind, and God's will. 2x

The tide was ebbing as we wet wail
Our heading would be true
Gliding on the sea once again
Into the breeze, into the blue. 2x

At the helm, two bells past midnight
On my watch that demon rose
Hell and wind and salt and foam
Beat the sloop Tir na nOg. 2x

Chorus: Never felt so hopeless that night
Battling storm, exhaustion, and fright
Never so thankful to have my life
And to be sailing calm seas once again. (repeat line on last chorus)

Mountains of ocean, steady as she goes
We held that tiller tight
Fixed on the compass to the north
Into the storm, into the night. 2x

Twenty-five feet, well the seas they crashed
And the wind galed fifty more
Hard and fast we cut through that blow
But would it cease? Was this the final score? 2x

Chorus

Instrumental

Well the angry seas, they subsided
As the dark gave way to dawn
Too tired to sleep that misty morn
And my mate at the tiller sailed on. 2x

Chorus.... (repeat last line)
