    This haunting ballad features Kimbo delivering sensitive lead vocals; a poignant love song about a sailer's whistful longings for home. Inspired by tales of the Solomon Sea Islands where Rick's father served during World War II in the U.S. Navy. Dedicated to the memory of President John F. Kennedy, whose famed PT-109 went down in enemy waters while he was also serving as a young Naval officer in the Solomon Islands during World War II. This song has charted as the Number One Folk Song in the world on MP3.com for weeks. (To view the complete lyrics, simply click on the art for this song.)

    Lyrics
    SOLOMON WIND
    Sail me home, Solomon Wind
    Been away too long, head me home again
    Comes a time, we grow too old
    Need a heart, a hand to hold

    Sail me down the Solomon Keys
    Head me out across the seven seas
    And I've sailed too long alone
    Nothing for me now but the heading home

    Chorus
    All my life a sailor, see me stranded on the shore
    I come too soon to see my journey's end
    Lived my life alone, now I can't take it anymore
    Need to feel your soft sea breeze again

    And sail me home, Solomon Wind
    Don't believe she'll back again
    Quiet sky, silent sea
    Let your cool dark waters carry me

    Chorus
    Are we all just sailors standing stranded on the shore
    We come too soon to see our journeys' end
    Live our lives alone til we can't take it anymore
    Need to feel your soft sea breeze again

    And sail me home, Solomon Wind
    Been away too long, head me home again
    Comes a time, we grow too old
    Need a heart, a hand to hold
