Loggins & Messina - Sailin' The Wind Lyrics






Summer in our sky ships, forever, sailing the wind
Somewhere Sunday morning brings us miles from earthbound, sailing the wind
September, keeping kite time together we summon the wind
Swaying to a gentle lady's breeze of ocean, sailing the wind

Up among the clouds I see my face miles below
Tugging on the string, a travelin' thing in my soul
I've got half a mind to close my eyes and let the string go, sailing the wind

Children, bring your kite lines to come and summon the wind
Tomorrow we'll be watching a sad sea and star bound, sailing the wind
Tomorrow we'll be watching a sad sea and star bound, sailing the wind

Up among the clouds I see my face miles below
Tugging on the string, a travelin' thing in my soul
I've got half a mind to close my eyes and let the string go, sailing the wind

  7. T.... ....

    Getting on to 50 years ago since this came out. Life is WAY too short.

  8. E.... 1....

    This song is so stunningly beautiful, and have you noticed something? ALL of the people leaving comments have nothing but great memories and appreciation to share. Isn't that how it's supposed to be?

  9. M.... ....

    So mellow and such great harmony. Plain and simple...just a nice song. Makes me want to sleep sweet dreams. Gnight.

  10. c.... ....

    I was about 12-13 years old listening to Kenny....awesome then awesome now........58

  11. P.... H....

    One of the best instrumentals of all time. Great blend of sax and guitar!

  12. T.... H....

    I remember hearing this song in early 1974 at the height of the energy crisis when they had Daylight Savings Time in the winter. I was driving to school in the dark around 7:45 AM on a rainy morning and the station I had on (KMET) was playing this. This was the perfect song to be listening to at that moment.

  13. J.... B....

    🏝⛱...Oh Yes....➰💓

  14. D.... G....

    This song (and album) has a special meaning to me, I sailed for close to 20 years. How awesome!

  15. B.... S....

    Had an 8-track in my '64 Impala, and would cruise around smoking joints, carefree in the wind...

  16. B.... D....

    Very special,and beautiful...

  17. Q.... R....

    Just got to add them one by one, AGAIN ~
    Geez you should be happy I'm listening to your station~
    Instead of everyone stealing mine all the time.
    You don't own them~
    PeAcE©/{*;*}\y ( i own that)

  18. T.... ....

    I've listened to this song at least 5,000 times in my life. Changes my attitude and mood every single time.

  19. M.... C....

    Sooo good.. love them..

  20. P.... R....

    I used to put this album on (back in my college days) and drift off to sleep by the time this song ended...still love it, all these years later. :-)

  21. T.... K....

    Was stationed at Kaneohe USMCAS in HI when this came out.  Had my own 14' Cat off the windward side.  Paradise and a song go with it.

  22. s.... ....

    Love the cymbal work by Merel Bregante here.

  23. M.... J....

    Talent like this is rare... both in the writing AND the performing. This song takes you on a journey of tranquility and wonder.

    M.... J....

    So exactly true...

  24. T.... J....

    I bought this album in 73. Still one of my favorites. Yes, takes me back to those difficult but wonderful days.I'd give anything to have one of them back.....

    T.... J....

    Same here and still love it!!

  25. S.... D....

    so nice to have YouTube so you don't have to run back to the turntable to lift the needle over and over and over again! Love this album!

  26. a.... ....

    This piece is so good, it's nearly supernatural. Can't even describe what this does for me. They captured summer's carefree breezes and oceans, into a song. So happy I found this again.

    a.... ....

    Me = Vinyl, CD and Yay for You-tube!!! <3

    a.... ....

    Indeed; a very good piece to have backups for...

  27. M.... C....

    🍃💜🍃 One of my favorite slbums.. still have that original album from the 70's. I'd stare at that cover and those sexy pics inside for days. They are part of the wonderful artists of those days that inspired me to play guitar and sing.. like America, CSNY, Santana, Eagles, Led Zeppelin, theWho, Heart, Stevie, etc etc.. God those were such magical days. •🦋•

    M.... C....

    Weren't they....? And you thought they would never end....

  28. M.... R....

    Absolutely beautiful even 44 years later. There is only one other band that's music consistently brings a tear to my eyes, Marillion.

  29. S.... B....

    Jimmy Messina! How's she blowin?

  30. J.... B....

    I don't even know what to say when I hear Sailin the wind gosh life was great then

    J.... B....

    I think back then we didn't give a shxt...life was smooth sailing and we went for any thing and lived life with no fear..and stupid young..lol..now we can just be nostalgic and say we know better..poke fun and get away with it..but hah those were some good days..that went on forever sailing in the wind in Hawaii..🎊

  31. D.... ....

    my new summer anthem!!! i love kenny loggy

  32. T.... D....

    We got the album in Hawaii in '73 on a lark because my sister actually had an encounter with a centipede in Lahaina. But to this day I'm blown away by this album - especially this Sailin' the Wind song.

  33. l.... b....

    my greatest tragedy happened during this summer. But I still love this song.

  34. P.... R....

    Too damn smooth

  35. P.... R....

    Too damn smooth

  36. �.... C....

    and can you say anything but the best for this one!!!

  37. J.... K....

    Now 10 more years later .... this is STILL ... the most inspirational music ... n Soooo smooth...

    GOD BLESS THESE GUYS

  42. R.... F....

    No duet sings a song better then "Loggins & Messina".Their music is still relivent today, everyone of them. They are still being played now this very momment, that's how timeless the words are. From "Changes" to "Peace of mind" to "Same old Wine",etc. They are Simply the finest duet voices singing anywhere!

  43. M.... D....

    About 42 years ago a friend of mine called me and said "YOU HAVE GOT TO HEAR THIS ALBUM". He brought it Full Sail over and I loved every track... but I forgot the guys name, anyway, THANKS BUD!!

  44. R.... D....

    Loggins & Messina, Seals & Crofts and Simon & Garfunkel

    R.... D....

    Abbott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy, Martin and Lewis

    R.... D....

    @John Lemmon
    Renny and Stimpy, Burt and Ernie, Bevis and Butthead, siegfried and hem-roy-d. Whats your point?

    R.... D....

    The point is this: Some say they do, some say they don't, some say they will, some say they won't, and some say: what's the point?

  45. M.... M....

    This whole album..

  46. J.... ....

    Great songs by one of the greatest musical duos ever.
    Music that could go on forever and ever and never get old.
