- The terms lee shore and windweather or ward shore are nautical terms used to describe a stretch of shoreline. A lee shore is one that is to the lee side of a vessel - meaning the wind is blowing towards it. A weather shore has the wind blowing from inland over it out to sea. For example, if you were standing on a beach, looking out to sea with the wind at your back, you are standing on a weather shore. If the wind is blowing at you, you are on a lee shore.
The Lee Shore
by David Crosby
from the Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young album "4 Way Street"
Wheel gull spin and glide ... you've got no place to hide
'Cause you don't need one
All along the Lee shore
Shells lie scattered in the sand
Winking up like shining eyes, at me
From the sea
Here is one like sunrise
It's older than you know
It's still lying there where some careless wave
Forgot it long ago
When I awoke this morning
I dove beneath my floating home
Down below her graceful side in the turning tide
To watch the sea fish roam
There I heard a story
From the sailors of the Sandra Marie
There's another island a day's run away from here
And it's empty and free
From here to Venezuela
There's nothing more to see
Than a hundred thousand islands
flung like jewels upon the sea
For you and me
Sunset smells of dinner
Women are calling at me to end my tales
But perhaps I'll see you, the next quiet place
I furl my sails.
Another David Crosby song forever in my head and heart. This was a major labour of love since my computer has got some major issues going on...I even had to go into my mouse and dissect it to make this happen ;-D...No, I could not wait...Lee Shore had to be made..mistakes and all..;-D This is where I come to escape life on life terms...I am very thankful to have here to come to. Thank you to those who join me here/hear. I thought this was a great version of The Lee Shore...Enjoy!
David RIP wrote many great songs but none better than this...
"but perhaps I'll see you in the next quiet place...i furl my sails"... Brilliant song!
A list of brilliant songs for sure.
Ever notice that the best songs by your favorite artists were not the ones that gained the most radio play? What a brilliant piece of music. Thanks for the upload
Alway my friend.
Even though its been 10years😳😬😊Thank you for being here/hear
Radio music was a business Want to guarantee certain numbers to advertisers so take no chances
From here in Venezuela... I had been listening to this warm and beatiful song since I was 13 years old (1971). Part of the soundtrack of my life and very proud that my country is mentioned on it

Me paso igual, tenia el disco de 4 way street y la cancion estaba incluida, solia oirla, la grabe en un casette, Posteriomente a finales delos 70 vivi en el extranjero y me ponia muy nostalgico oir esa cancion y sobre todo esa parte. Saludos
You prolly dont give a shit but if you are bored like me during the covid times you can stream pretty much all of the latest series on InstaFlixxer. Been watching with my gf for the last months =)
@Benton Hudson Yea, I have been watching on Instaflixxer for since november myself :D
7 minutes and 14 seconds of musical perfection.
Oh Crosby has got one smooth voice.Great song
Wow. Beautiful. I only learned of this song on the "Fifty By Four" documentary.
I love CSNY.
The history of it all and all involved is well traveled.
Beautiful Sherry...one of the best songs...David wrote a masterpiece here...I am always taken to that place he tells of...magically
Hello Michael..i hope you and your daughter are doing well. Hugs brother.
One of the lushest songs ever written, sung by one of the greatest voices in music. I love this version, though I love them all. Great video as well. Thank you.
Best version of this great song I've heard. I woke up this morning with a hankering to hear this tune again. It's been half a lifetime since I listened to it. Sublime.
Gary I'm very glad it was hear/here for you. Incredible how so many of the great ones of our lifetime remain relevant and timeless. Thank you for your response very much🎼💞
Agreed though the box set version is awesome too
The Magic of 'Woodstock' still continues . I'm a Slave 2 the mesmerising Guitar Sounds of Stepehen Stills , silky voice of David Crosby and the pleasant piano skills of Graham Nash !
This song features Crosby on guitar Because when it was initially recorded, stills was in jail on a cocaine charge. My favorite version is from the live album "Crosby-Nash live"
Brings me back to my 20's. Never forgot the verse starting with "from here to Venezuela and had it constantly in my head when sailing this area. Great memories (and great song)
I appreciate very much you kind compliment...it means alot to me when someone else truly appreciates a moment of wonder..and, a great classic like this...makes the time very worthwhile..It truly is a small world when it comes to the great connection of our hearts through moments like this..Merry Christmas
We appreciate you
What a wonderful comment and why I enjoy this srt form so much...I was so happy to find this version of this song...very happy and, isn't it amazing that I can share a sunset and this major musical moment with you..It truly is a small world when it comes to the great connection of our hearts through the great classics of our times...thanks for taking time to comment..;-)
Thanks for getting me to listen again this morning...I feel exactly the same way you do about CSN....what joy they have brought us through the years...thanks so much for your feedback and appreciation..that is why I love doing this...giving honour to the great classics of our time..for future generations.
Brilliant Crosby....so many great songs by the bard:)
my favorite Crosby song.....masterpiece......and your video Sister is grand
Best version from here to the Maracaibo sea VZ
My fav of many of theirs
David…
I just love their voices!
i only hear Crosby's voice, this version is sublime as it has NO harmony ...
the most beautiful done b y CSNY !
Bellissima versione 😍
Did not have a sailboat, but I had a Chesapeake Bay Dead Rise and road the Chesapeake Bay night and day for fun. Crosby had a silky voice.. C S N greatest!
Its literally my favorite song. Ive been listening for a long time too. Thanks David.🧡
while i haven't been able to get into their other stuff, this song has continued to haunt me since i first heard it.
1 of the more beautiful and melodic songs ever written
think this far back & relax. The best thing about the 60"s & 70"s no stupid cell phones
This is a beautiful tune- so much different than the 4 Way St version which has amazing harmonies with just Crosby and Nash, an acoustic guitar-tuned standard. This guitar work from Stills here is as good as any electric I have ever heard him play,
This is one of my favorites by C,S,& N. The very first time I have ever heard this particular version, WOW! I can't tell you how many times I have listened to it. Maybe once more......... Thank you, so very much.
Beau Campbell Ditto. althought C S & N have a fine catalog. Saw them about a year ago. Was worth every penny. This is a masterpiece. I add my thanks to yours.
Hi Sherrylynn... One of those superb videos of yours that help me visualize the life I want to create for myself. Great version of the song, and incredible images. Thanks :-)
Favorite version of this song!
What a beautiful song ❤
This is my number one favorite song! Thank you for this video. God bless you!
love this song so much, Thank you for posting
I was 16, visiting my Sister in Boston (From Jersey). Our cousin was there too.
We were driving downtown, April 1971 Easter Weekend, and a Record Store was hawking '4 Way Street' on the sidewalk , the day it was released. We bought it, curbside...
Immediately after, I found some 'seeds' on the backseat of her car...This was 'news' to me...
We went back to her apartment, discussed these 'seeds' and their origin ; )
and got busy ...and put the Album on... what a blast. Love these guys
Wonderful sailing in a wooden boat song... quiet and gentle
Thank you for your response. I so agree. Had to watch and listen again.
Didn't know about this version. Loving it!
Thanks.
I think the Dynamics of Crosby national getting along really bring out the best in their music typically wind on the water!
Bellísima versión!! Viva Venezuela!!
Poetry in motion!!!...:)O(:..
this sounds like the original, but with all the extras and ambiance cut out....love to hear these guitars....great version!
I like this version also for a more private setting. Can hear all the words clearly but I already know the words. Love the 4 Way Street Album version also. Started listening to them when I was 10. Thankfully I had a sister that was 7 years older.
Katy amazing to think you were seven...sweet🎼💞
Katy thanks for being hear/here and telling me.
Incredible version of another Croz classic, should be in any serious collectors collection
RIP David, xo ☮️💜
David is so Beautiful, this song is Eternal, and You sherrylynn, are an ANGEL for putting this all together, LOVE all of the Above and the air we breathe and the water we drink, Our Mother Earth... please trade it for electric, your car that is...!!!!
love love it....so many beautiful memories of beach towns and oceans
Beautiful video with an incredible song---thank you for your efforts. :0)
stupenda.....meravigliosa versione
For me it's the best part of my journey of discovery into my teens, having just returned home from my 1st Summer camp experience at 13, only to find a stranger working in our yard, someone my father was helping to earn money to get his car repaired to drive home to Tennessee where his newly pregnant wife awaited him. He had just gotten out of the Armed Forces but could sing and play piano incredibly well & sold me his 8-tracks & car player.
4-way street was among them, a cool reminder of youth.
This is wonderful. Loved this song from when I first heard it on 4ws.... So lovely to discover you other great people who enjoy it equally... A moment of reality in our 'immediate business' lives... Congrats sherrylynn, lovely video, lovely version of the song... A moment of wonder xx
major props sherrlynn this is the most epic version of the song a lot of people don't know about with the original vocals and extended instrumental passages...... i can't believe he didn't release this version instead....the best version by far... this is NOT on the box set.... Awesome visuals by the way
Memories of sailing along the West Coast in a wooden Tahiti Ketch. Nothing like being under sail.
One of my favourite Crosby songs - it's haunted me since I first heard it in the early 70's. Prefer the more reflective acoustic version(s), and recommend 'David Crosby Graham Nash bbc' - a beautifully recorded concert available in 5 parts on youtube. Thank you, anyway.
yes Thank You Always!!!!!
RIP David Crosby.
RIP DC 😥
R.I.P. David Crosby :(
Stranissima e bellissima versione della magnifica The Lee Shore (4way Street)
Sì, e il mio preferito
I Love this song...
RIP old friend.
melting song
BEAUTIFUL
you could have heard a pin drop. at cleveland stadium. i was lucky to be there.they are great.
Lee Shore given the Wooden Ships treatment.
The 4 Way Street version & BBC Concert version with just Crosby & Nash was my favourite.
Crosby & Nash released an electric band live version in 1975 very similar to this but without the Stephen Stills lead guitar solo energy.
Of the voyage from USA & Venezuela these days would be littered with pirates, narco-traffickers & naval militias and any romantic notions would quickly be dissipated.
And Merry Christmas to you too.... Instant kinship :)
That is about the sweetest most encouraging thing to hear...my camera is bwoken ;-( but, your comment sure gets me going....miss you many times too...I will neVer forget my dream homes in Michigan...and, the sunflowers..and, every little detail...you are ever near the heart...no doubt mmmmmmmm
Fantastic video; fantastic song; - you-tube upload at its very best
lovely; groove
And let's not forget David Crosby's if I can only remember my name project absolutely stunning! I think he had everybody in San Francisco Bay area with him! Jerry Garcia Joni Mitchell on and on! That will never happen again!
Nice !
Very nice : )
Thanks I was looking for that.
It's like ultra C,S&N-this track as wonderful as it is it's hard to download the fact that Neil doesn't appear on it, but it's my favorite version absolutely, especially the ending poetic formula , that seems to ascertain all the vibes folks have concerning this great house of Jacob, WICH SEEMS TO HAVE A HUNGER UNEDNDED SO FAR-"SUNSET SMELLS OF DINNER~~^^^
Neil Young is on this track. He's in the background playing acoustic guitar and adding harmonica. I'm guessing this is from the same session as the version that's on the CSN boxed set from 1991, during which you hear Neil talking to David in the studio before the song starts.
@@chrisscanlon3229 yes but shortened (why) with newer vocal overdubs which are good but i prefer this one
Can I just say thank you thank you thank you thank you.Merry Xmas sherry lynn70 without your longer version I wouldn't be complete.XXX
what a wonderful comment..thank you very much..with the glory of a sunset along the shore and this great song...I had alot of help..and, very glad someone appreciates..;-) where is your channel??
Rest in peace David Crosby
sat on the shores of argyll Scotland, and just took it all in .
by the way.... to the guy who was asking.... the only place I ever saw this version was on a bootleg titled 1969 demos or something along those lines.......
Beautiful song. Wonderful version. Hard to believe, but Cros seems a little ripped (-:
WHATEVER THAT PEDAL CRUNCH ,FLANGE MIX THEY'VE GOT ON THIS AMP IS IT ,I'D DEFINITLEY POSE THIS QUESTION IF I EVER CAUSE CONTACT
Jerry on Pedal.
Very much so available,.
I know the feeling...;-)
Very beautiful video you put togheter man. This song sounds even better live. Try searching "CSN The Lee Shore" here on youtube or ""The lee shore" - Crosby & Nash (live) "
Cheers to you people that like this old and very beautiful song.
You can found this version in the 1991 "CSN Box set"...I have seen in internet and that version abitualy during 5'28"... it's cut at the first solo... and the versions that we can found by internet are not right: they are of acustic album...
Sorry for my english!
RIP Croz
15,000 people are lucky ;)
it's strange, I've never heard Stone Temple Pilots or Scott Weiland melodies sound like anything recognizable, except this song sounds like it heavily inspired them
May I know where this beautiful version is taken from? Thanks
Where did you find this??? I have never heard this exquisite version and Stills is stellar on guitar,🎸🎵🎤🎶EXCELLENT !!!!
This isn't the cut from 4-Way Street. And where's Nash's harmony? Crosby's singing this solo. They do a very acoustic version (one guitar, I believe) on the Street album. Great version, but not the same without Nash.
This version is not from the CSN Box Set, I know that since I own it and listen to it regularly. I've never heard this version before and it's really brilliant. I can't seem to find it on any album released so my guess is that it is from an unreleased bootleg.
I keep wondering how this great song did not end up on Deja Vu in 1969. Was the song ready in time? Personal politics? Easily would have been the best song on the album.
Ronnie Crosby wasn't satisfied with his vocals
Crosby...great singer...bumped into him in The Liverpool Hilton Hotel...doing tour with Nash about 2012....was a concierge and the man was a person struggling with life and being in a moment in time needing help from his aide...Nash out and about and enjoying things...went the concert at the Royal Philharmonic Hall..Liverpool...good concert but Crosby ..miserable old overcoat...
Outstanding! Thank you. What is this recording? It is not the 4 way street version, but it now may be my favorite. Please post
It should be noted this is actually CSNY
@no yes I always assumed its if neil it something on harmonica croz didnt like.
supposedly during these sessions everyone was a bit napoleanic about their own songs nixing anything others did they didnt like. cant remember which biography i read that in or if it was an article
This is definitely NOT the same version of The Lee Shore that is on my 4-way Street LP & CD.
Is it a bonus track on a special edition CD of 4-way Street or possibly from a different album?
I like the mellower live version from 4-Way Street best, possibly because that's the 1st version I heard and became accustomed to, but this version is sweet!
Truly the best of the rest.
Just realized "LEE SHORE" is actually the opposite of what I thought it meant.
cerco questo disco....come posso averlo ? Grazie.
My kid calls this the floating home song.
Makes me want to unfurl my sails...............
well, the original version that i'm used too...lol
