Heather Alexander - The Bow's Turned Back lyrics

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 CHORUS: 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
