I set sail years ago, with the wind in my hair
Chasing dreams on the ocean, beyond all care
The sea was my compass, its waves my guide
But the days turned to years, and time passed me by

Oh, the sea, it took me far and wide
But I never forgot the look in your eyes
Now I'm sailing home through the storm and the spray
Praying you'll be waiting at the break of day

I've seen distant lands, under strange, foreign skies
Met people and places with new, wondrous eyes
But the whispers of the ocean, they spoke your name
And the longing in my heart, it burned just the same

Oh, the sea, it took me far and wide
But I never forgot the look in your eyes
Now I'm sailing home through the storm and the spray
Praying you'll be waiting at the break of day

Each wave that crashed brought a memory of you
Your smile, your laughter, the love that we knew
Now the stars are my witness as I chart my course
Back to the harbor, to you, my north

The years have been long, and the nights were cold
But your face in my dreams, it kept me bold
As the shore draws near, my heart starts to race
Will you be there, my love, in our old place

Oh, the sea, it took me far and wide
But I never forgot the look in your eyes
Now I'm sailing home through the storm and the spray
Praying you'll be waiting at the break of day

The mist starts to clear, the harbor in sight
The dawn breaks gently, chasing the night
With hope in my heart and the sea at my back
I return to you, along this well-worn track
