Ships at Sea Lyrics

Tonight the stars are shining

They're twinkling o'er our heads

We watch for more arising

As dreams call me to bed

The water's slowly rising

The tide is coming in

The lights on the horizon

Show where the sky begins

The ships are rocked at sea

Like a baby at the breast

When will they come home

When their work is done

When will they come home to rest

And so we're rocked, are we

In the starry skies above

When will we come home

When our work is done

When will we come home to

love

I'll keep you close

I'll keep you safe

I'll keep you warm

I'll be your northern star

And see you safely home

I'll keep you close

I'll keep you safe

I'll keep you warm

I'll be your northern star

And see you safely home

I'll keep you close

I'll keep you safe

I'll keep you warm

I'll be your northern star

And see you safely home

And so, my love, I tell you

There's nothing here to fear

Come close, my love, I'll show you

That all you need is here

The ships are rocked at sea

Like a baby at the breast

When will they come home

When their work is done

When will they come home to rest

And so we're rocked, are we

In the starry skies above

When will we come home

When our work is done

When will we come home to

love
