Take Us Home

[Verse 1]
I thought to spend my early years accross the open sea
With not a care but findin' all the wealth that I could keep
Our ship she stood tall with twenty-six sails a sight for all to see
Not three weeks in she took a good knock that sent her right down to the deep

[Pre-Chorus]
And as the sky went dim I saw several fins guide myself and the company
To a port in the storm with an inn who's sign bore a star adorned in leaves

[Chorus]
When the night is long and we're all full of dread, oh where am I to go?
For we're all good 'n lost and we're missin' our beds, oh lady take us home
When we've run through our stores and our takin' is high and we've nowhere left to roam
Oh we'll keep our chins up and we'll look to the sky, oh lady take us home

[Verse 2]
When I went to go pay the landlady my share I was struck by the sheen of her copper red hair
And she won't take our money but pointed us where we could find the main land so we hauled the boat there

[Chorus]
When the night is long and we're all full of dread oh where am I to go?
For we're all good 'n lost and we're missin' our beds, oh lady take us home
When we've run through our stores and our takin' is high and we've nowhere left to roam
Oh we'll keep our chins up and we'll look to the sky, oh lady take us home

[Verse 3]
When we'd found a new vessel no more than a year on the bow did we see that same lady appear
When our cook step before her a compass in hand and she led us to where we could get back to land

[Chorus]
When the night is long and we're all full of dread oh where am I to go?
For we're all good 'n lost and we're missin' our beds, oh lady take us home
When we've run through our stores and our takin' is high and we've nowhere left to roam
Oh we'll keep our chins up and we'll look to the sky, oh lady take us home
