Lyrics
FORT WITHERALL
By Noreen Inglesi
VERSE 1
Graceful wind morning sky
Fort Witherall
Granite cliffs across the way.
Tide carved out this sandy cove.
Ivy twists toward the sky.
Reaching for light.
So far away
Sailboats start a new day.
REFRAIN
Trees squeeze through the rocks.
Cast their reflections.
Slender grass narrow paths lead to this wondrous cove.
Sixty one acres wide.
Tucked there in Jamestown.
There on the shores of Jamestown.
BRIDGE
Distant light house miles away.
When storms come
It will guide your way.
VERSE 2
Pastel sky cloudless day
Fort Witherall.
Treasures here for all to see
Tide carved this sandy cove.
Water blue grass so green
Colors oh so pure
We're on the shores of Jamestown.
REFRAIN
Evergreens dress the rocks
Show their own glory
Slender grass narrow paths
Tell their story
Sixty one acres wide
Tucked there in Jamestown.
There on the shores of Jamestown.
There on the shores of Jamestown.
Slender grass narrow paths lead to this wondrous cove.
Sixty one acres wide tucked there in Jamestown.
There on the shores of Jamestown.
There on the shores of Jamestown.
