Intro: Humm - mmm mm - mm! Humm - mmm! Humm - mmm - mm! Humm - mmm mm mm - mmm! () The harbour lights were shining the moon was in it’s high () The captain said "Thank God we’re home we’ve drunk the barrels dry!" () The mizzen-mast was shaken and the lanterns all burnt low () I never thought we’d make it but we’ve twenty leagues to go () So blow you southern trades and guide me safely to the shore () () () I’m never ever gonna sail the seven seas no more-----! I know I’m gonna miss the sand in my hair The roll of the tide and the salt in the air But deep inside it’s true I’m a home lovin’ man coming on home to you I know I’m gonna miss the wind in my eyes The shimmer of light when the seagull flies Al - though I’ve travelled far I’m a home lovin’ man and home is where you are--------------! () The crowd upon the quayside their faces long and drawn () Are suddenly a - wakened as we sail in on the dawn () The wives the sons the lovers who never gave up hope () All breathe a sigh to - gether as they reach to catch the rope () God bless you southern trades you’ve got me safely back this time () () () Oh you’ll never have the need a - gain to save this soul of mine----! I know I’m gonna miss the sand in my hair The roll of the tide and the salt in the air But deep inside it’s true I’m a home lovin’ man coming on home to you I know I’m gonna miss the wind in my eyes The shimmer of light when the seagull flies Al - though I’ve travelled far () I’m a home lovin’ man and home is where you are------------! Yes I know I’m gonna miss the sand in my hair The roll of the tide and the salt in the air But deep inside it’s true I’m a home lovin’ man coming on home to you I know I’m gonna miss the wind in my eyes The shimmer of light when the seagull flies Al - though I’ve travelled far I’m a home lovin’ man and home is where you are--------------!
