I traveled the world around
Wandered far from home
Sailed the ocean 'neath foreign skies
Still further to roam
Back into my baby's arms
Safe from this world of woe
That was such a long, long time ago.
Captain hollered
The cabin boy stared into the sun
Shadows waltzing so close behind
Ever far I run back into my baby's arms
Safe from this world of woe
That was such a long, long time ago
Sirens capture my trembling heart
What's to be will be
Moon is hidden
The deal is done
Spread her wings o'er me
Back into my baby's arms
Rising soft and low
That was such a long, long time ago
