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--------------!
