THE BOW’S TURNED BACK
Music & Lyrics: Heather Alexander

When the night turns lonely, I think of you only
As I’m rocked on waves of the storm
Your arms around me, your charms astound me
You kiss is keeping me warm-
I’ve heard the cry from the crow’s nest high
That we’re homeward bound straight and true-
Just a few more nights, and I’ll see the lights
That will bring me back home to you-


FOR THE WIND IS BLOWIN' THE SEA IS ROLLIN'’
THE DOLPHINS DANCE IN THE FOAM-
TEH SEAGULL'S SINGIN' IN THE HIGHEST RIGGIN'
AND THE BOW'S TURNED BACK TO MY HOME-


It’s been a long travel,enough to unravel
The strongest sailor adrift-
As the dreams take o’er me, you appear before me
In not but a simple white shift-
To be so far from you when I finally come to
Is far more than I can stand-
When I touch the shore you will be at the door
With a tall, warm drink for my hand-


The sea is a creature of whimsical feature
A lady fair so they’ve said
But she’ll aim hard to take you, make you or break you
And wash you up soon then for dead
Her love, it is fickle, a silvery sickle
That twists and turns ‘round on you fast
Just ask any sailor, he’ll say without failure
The best of the trip is last-

Keep a light burnin’
I am returnin’
I’ll be home by the three quarter moon-
I’ll be in your arms very soon-
With every tall wave that we breach
I come that much closer to your loving reach-
