Listen out across the water,
Can you hear my running motor?
Oh, come down and meet me at the harbour,
Coming home_______, I’m coming home.
Raven wakened me this morning,
The sky was red with a warning;
Now all day I’ve run before the storming,
Coming home, I’m coming home.
CHORUS: Oh, soon I’ll be a-dockin’,
Like the sea, I’ll gently rock you,
In my arms_ in my arms.
REFRAIN 1: Raven woke me today,
Raven, what did you say?
The skies above me may be clouding,
Big southeaster may be mounting,
But with you, my blessings I’ve been counting,
Coming home____, I’m coming home.
CHORUS:
REFRAIN 2: Sweet-heart, oh, can you hear?
Sweet-heart, do you know I’m near? Listen
I’m from centuries of seamen,
Who bet their lives against their freedom;
Oh, but love and death respect no season,
Coming home____, I’m coming home.
CLOSING REFRAINS:
Coming home, I’m coming home
Coming home, I’m coming home.
Raven woke me today,
Raven, what did you say?
Sweetheart, oh can you hear
Sweetheart, do you know I’m near?
