The Bow's Turned Back -

When the night turns lonely, I think of you only

As I’m rocked on waves of the storm

Your arms around me, your charms astound me

You kiss is keeping me warm

I’ve heard the cry from the crow’s nest, high

That we’re homeward bound straight and true

Just a few more nights, and I’ll see the lights

That will bring me back home to you

For the wind is blowin', the sea is rollin'

The dolphins dance in the foam

The seagulls singin' in the highest riggin'

And the bow’s turned back to my home

It’s been a long travel, enough to unravel

The strongest sailors adrift

As the dreams take o’er me, you appear before me

In naught but a simple white shift

To be so far from you when I finally come to

Is far more than I can stand

When I touch the shore, you will be at the door

With a tall, warm drink for my hand

The sea is a creature of whimsical feature

A lady fair so they’ve said

But she’ll aim hard to take you, make you or break you

And wash you up soon then for dead

Her love it is fickle, a silvery sickle

That twists and turns 'round on you fast

Just ask any sailor, he’ll say without failure

The best of the trip is the last

BRIDGE:

Keep a light burnin'

I am returnin'

I’ll be home by the three quarter moon

I’ll be in your arms very soon

With every tall wave that we breach

I come that much closer to your loving reach
