Sailing across a storm tossed sea The waves pounding upon my bow Your sparkling green eyes calling to me To hurry on home right now Flying before the rising gale Seeking that much loved shore Tightly I grasp the leeward rail As I pray to the gods once more To keep my foundering ship afloat To ransom us from this plight On the horizon I duly note The glimmer of love's soft light The fateful journey that kept me away Could not evict you from my heart I'll promise to you this very day Never again shall we be apart As I approach the lighthouse strand Your voice cries out in my mind We slip in the harbor at my command Leaving the storm clouds behind I see you standing upon the pier You shine as bright as the sun I hurdle the rail as we draw near And into your arms do I run Embracing the knowledge that comes from above No matter how far I might roam Always the lighthouse lit by your love Will guide me safely back home Steven Seaman |
