The Sailor's Song (single) (2023). Lyrics by Al Hemberger

​

You know me, I'm a sailor

Son of the tailor in the shop next door

I sailed off in a whaler

To return nevermore

​

When I left, I was hungry

For a life on the open sea

I never guessed the baker's daughter

Would fill my dreams and memories

And whisper in the wind, "Lover, please come home

To me."

​

Did she say, "Come home, come on home"

She's laughing in the waves

Did she say, "Come home, come on home"

She's singing in the sails

​

Life is slow for a sailor

Mostly waiting as we hunt the mighty whale

This tiny ship, this endless ocean

My thoughts return and overlook the bay

The little harbor town

The places we would play

The children that we were

And the lovers we became

Standing on the deck 

I think I hear her call my name

Come home to me

​

Did she say, "Come home, come on home"

She's laughing in the waves

Did she say, "Come home, come on home"

She's singing in the sails

​

You know me, I'm a sailor

Son of the tailor in the shop next door

I sailed off in a whaler

To return nevermore
