Where The Wind Blows Us

Track #5

An acoustic rock song featuring a marimba solo about yearning to live a dream of leaving a conventional life behind to sail around the Great Lakes for an entire summer, and of a man convincing his woman to accompany him on such an adventure.

"Where The Wind Blows Us"

Written by Scott Cooley


Come and sail away with me

It's time we start livin' the dream

Sell everything that we don't need        

On the lakes together where we should be 

We'll cast our worries aside, so come along for the ride

Wherever I go, the weather's always better with you by my side


Where the wind blows us, that’s where we’ll be

Sailing along, just you and me

Where the wind blows us, far out and free

There is no place that I would rather be


We'll sail from one port to another

If we like one stay, there's more to discover

Why plot a course, we've got all summer

Who needs a compass, we've got each other

We'll stock up with supplies, while we're in our prime

And wise enough to know when storm winds blow we've got nothing but time


Where the wind blows us, that’s where we’ll be

Sailing along, just you and me

Where the wind blows us, far out and free

There is no place that I would rather be


We'll only drop anchor, to rest again

We'll sail to places we’ve never been

When we’ll stop, no one knows

We’ll go wherever the wind blows


There's no need for us to navigate            

We can follow the shore all around the state

I'll be the captain, you my first mate  

Tack when we want, or just go straight

Hoist our sails high in the air, without a care

Without a doubt, we'll figure it out when we get there


Where the wind blows us, that’s where we’ll be

Sailing along, just you and me

Where the wind blows us, far out and free

There is no place that I would rather be
