home from the lonely sea
I was lashed to the mast of a sailing ship
but now at last I’m free
Let’s shut all the windows and doors, my love
and spend these hours inside
tomorrow we’ll see and be seen again
for I haven’t come home to hide
I’m shaking the dust from my shoes, my love
my sails are finally furled
so come, let me hold you as close as I can
while the moon watches over the world
