HEART’S DESIRE

(Words & Music by Dennis Warner / From the Dennis Warner CD’s “Live! Volume 2” and “My World”

Sailing away with my Heart’s Desire

Catching the wind from astern she’s flyin’ up

Over the crest

She’s at her best

Riding up on the whitecaps proud and stately

Sliding back down so soft and gently

She smiles when she heels

I know how she feels

            She sees it all from spring to fall

            Till the winter winds deny her

            She’s my Heart’s Desire

Fading behind us is Madeline Island

Nothing but sun and the wind to guide us

We’re on our own

But never alone

            A sailor’s faith is strong and sure

            As we push the limits higher

            She’s my Heart’s Desire

(Instrumental)         

Rounding the tip by the Devil’s Lighthouse

Pointing up north there’s nothing to stop us

She’s asking to go

I can’t tell her “no”

            An iron will in the roughest seas

            With courage I admire

            She’s my Heart’s Desire

            She sees it all from spring to fall

            Till the winter winds deny her

            She’s my Heart’s Desire

            She’s my Heart’s Desire

            She’s my Heart’s Desire
