| | A Salty Piece Of Land Lyrics Artist(Band):Jimmy Buffett
That I could not really hear When the words of a wise old Indian Put a conch shell to my ear And I took off for the ocean I was searching for the coast Painting pictures of my vision With the words from grandma ghost Hiding from the dragons Riding for the sea Singing ballads from my childhood “A pirate’s life for me” Survivors seem to function best When peril is at hand With a song of the ocean Meets a salty piece of land I was force-fed my religion But I somehow saved my smile Tapped into my instincts As I headed to’ards exile Cleopatra did not own a barge But a schooner was her home She has centuries of stories And there’s wisdom in her bones She was on a sacred mission And she told me of a place Where a man can hide forever But never loose his face So I saddled up my seahorse With a fly-rod in my hand I was not looking for salvation Just a salty piece of land Somedays Cayo Loco SHIMMERS Like the stars up in the sky And the seabirds they do touch and gos As the world just tangos by But there are times when she is hidden Beneath the wild and crashing waves And the patron saint of lightening Keeps the sailors from their graves Some say it is a blinding sword Pointing out into the sea While others say her guiding light Leads to’ards eternity Still I sit in contemplation And I just don’t understand This mysterious attraction Of this salty piece of land Still I search the constellations And the tiny grains of sand Where the song of the ocean Meets the salty piece of land If you find some error in A Salty Piece Of Land Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Review about A Salty Piece Of Land ADDICTIVE! | Reviewer: Judy | 9/13/2007 A wonderful book and a great song. I had the cd so I enjoyed the music too. I was so impressed by Mr. Buffet's style. I listened to the book two times and will undoubtedly listen to it again in the future. The song still goes through my mind. It condenses the story and brings back its heartwarming message. Is this review helpful to you? Yes No Salty Piece of Lan | Reviewer: S Dickerson | 4/29/2007 Great book, couldn't put it down.

Is this review helpful to you? Yes No Buffet is such a Bum! | Reviewer: John Nichols | 5/10/2006 And I am so jealous...I am listening to his CD audio book "A Salty Piece of Land." It opens with his title song and I realize no other person can write these beautiful songs but him..you just gotta love him and his work. following this wonderful song Buffet himself comments about the passing of George Harrison, Gardner McKay and others...It is a work of art itself and borders on bringing tears to my eyes.. Buffet just continues to amaze me. BTY the audio book is read by none other than J.D. Souther! Is this review helpful to you?
