Away from home I once did roam Buy my heart did not journey with 'Stead it sang to me, over land and sea, From between the hands that took it It sings "return to me" I walked alone upon dirt and stone Wondering why my blood is not moving And then I recalled why my skin was cold Hollow was my body And wandering was my soul And it sang to me over land and sea It sings "return to me" Away from home I once did roam By my heart did not journey with So back home I'll flee Over land and sea Back to my heart and the hands that took it Oh that beautiful grip that keeps my heart adrift Oh that beautiful sound, tie me to the ship Oh that beautiful grip that keeps my heart adrift It sings "return to me"
