lyrics

Is it midweek or the Sabbath, is it morning or afternoon?
Is the tide on the rise, will we see England soon?
Months afloat in this salt soaked coat with rats for company
The greys and browns provoke me in the harshest lonely sea

Wind noise carries voices, rigging amplifies the chat
A high pitched wine of dead men brought up from the black
I cup my hands across my ears, like a shell I hear the sea
No escape from the torment, my loved ones will I see

Hold on tight, the waves are getting high
Hold on tight there's danger in the sky
Can you see the harbour lights of Southwold shine so bright
Are we going home tonight?

My mind clears with the weather, relief from dead man's woe
I stare holes in the decking as I think of all I know
My children, wife and mother all standing at the door
The nightmares cease with my feet upon the shingle covered shore

Hold on tight, the waves are getting high
Hold on tight there's danger in the sky
Can you see the harbour lights of Southwold shine so bright
We're coming home tonight

So now I'm back on dry land, the ship is tethered strong
Safely in the harbour, I hear the Sirens' song
Although the sea is calling me I know she is my foe
I'm never going back again, I'm stronger than you know

Hold on tight, the waves are getting high
Hold on tight there's danger in the sky
Can you see the harbour lights of Southwold shine so bright
We're coming home tonight
