Voyager
Voyager by Larry Taylor
(Verse)
Just climb abord, cast off that spring line
Now hoist the main, we’ll be under way
Fair wind in the sails, a following sea
Simply gypsies you and me
And coladas in old San Juan by Christmas Eve
(Chorus)
We’ve got nowhere to go and a year or so just to get there
We’ve got wind to chase and rum to taste when it don’t blow
It’s the Voyager in us all since we learned how to crawl
It’s a picture from that magazine
A souwesterly nudge, to give us that shove
And lift us through the space of our dreams’
(Verse)
Just chart a course, Let the Tradewinds take us
Life is the voyge, it’s not journey’s end
Lay line dead ahead, red on the right
Call out the mark, safe harbor tonight
And to linger or leave is a choice for the dawning light
(Chorus)
We’ve got nowhere to go and a year or so just to get there
We’ve got wind to chase and rum to taste when it don’t blow
It’s the Voyager in us all since we learned how to crawl
It’s a picture from that magazine
A souwesterly nudge, to give us that shove
And lift us through the space of our dreams’
(Tag)
And when the wind starts to blow, I’ve just got to go
Back to someplace that I’ve never seen
That was great Lorenzo. Worked beautifully I wish I could play with that nice easy flowing finger picking like you do. 👍
I was drawn in from the first note and then at 50 seconds you play something under the G, is it a Bb? not sure, which pricked my ears up again. A super story to boot. Thanks.
Wonderful song!
That’s lovely Lorenzo 😉 nice to hear that big bass voice gently telling a rolling story. Beautiful guitar too. Well done I say.
Lorenzo – Super song! Great lyrics and performance! I want to get on a ship and set sail (with the rum!)! Very nice composed and performed.
Nice melody
Lovely, engaging words, suitably wistful melody, nice accompaniment – I really enjoyed it!
Very good song and lyric. Nice folky feel with some lovely chords underpinning it all. like this a lot

Nice folky feel with some lovely chords underpinning it all. Excellent.
Great picking, has a country/folk feel.
Thanks for sharing
Lovely mellow song – love the lyrics
That’s really nice and well performed. Your picking seems effortless – unlike my frantic efforts
Lovely rolling laid back folky feel to this.
Lovely. Easy relaxed feel in keeping with the lyrics. Lovely the triplets in the verse, the lift on “rum” is a great emphasis. Really enjoyed listening
Enjoyable song. Well done.
Maybe it’s all the rum, but that smooth guitar playing and easy flow to the melody and lyrics are making me feel very chilled, Lorenzo. I really enjoyed listening.
Sounds like it’s straight off a Yacht rock playlist from sometime in the sun drenched SoCal 80’s. Loved it.
