Ships at Sea

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
