I'm looking to the ocean for a sail to come in view
It's just a kind of waiting when there's nothing left to do
Waiting for the tide to turn and watch it running free
And I say, come home safely to me
The boats are trimmed and ready and spread along the beach
And out across the reefs the fish are coming into reach
Following the tradewinds from way across the sea
And I say, come home safely to me
I have learned how to pass the day
And let the winter fade away
And look to the sun as it kisses the sea
And I say, come home safely to me
Lovers come together and lovers drift apart
And memories are carried in the beating of a heart
My love is like a flower that's tossed upon the sea
And I say, come home safely to me
I have learned how to pass the day
Let the winter fade away
And look to the sun as it kisses the sea
I say, come home safely to me
I say, come home safely to me
