THERE’S A STORM BLOWING IN FROM THE OCEAN

THERE’S A BOAT SAILING OUT ON THE SEA

AND HE FOLLOWS A LIGHT AS IT SHINES IN THE NIGHT

BRINGING MY LOVE HOME SAFELY TO ME

BLOW AND BLOW HEAR THE WIND AS SCREAMS PASSING BY

AND THE CLOUDS IN THE SKY TURN TO GREY

AND THE WAVES THEY SEEM LIKE MOUNTAINS OF GREEN

CARRY MY LOVE HOME SAFELY TO ME

AS I STAND ON THE SHORE HEAR MY PRAYER

AND CARRY YOUR THOUGHTS BACK TO ME

I CAN STILL SEE THE LIGHT AS IT SHINES IN THE NIGHT

LIKE A STAR SHINING UP FROM THE SEA

NOW THE BOAT IT LIES SAFE IN THE HARBOUR

AND THE RAIN DRENCHED TEARS STAIN MY FACE

AND I WHISPER A PRAYER FOR THE LIGHT THAT SHINES THERE

AND I’M LOST IN MY LOVES SWEET EMBRACE
