I see your face across the sea, you're in the waves surrounding me
I hear your voice call on the breeze, on the ship out on the ocean

Sailing across the sea on a big ship on the ocean
The moon is rising in the East, the stars hang down around her
The bow is arrow to the hearts of the ones we wish to come to home to
But the newly-lit night directs this flight, singing 'The ocean road will guide you.'

I see your face across the sea, you're in the waves surrounding me
I hear your voice call on the breeze, on the ship out on the ocean

*Instrumental *

When I awake I'll cast my anchor down and dive below

I'll dive into my lover's arms and warm the ocean's cold
Across the sea into our homes, we'll meet again so soon
You'll be with me across the sea on the ship out on the ocean

I see your face across the sea, you're in the waves surrounding me
I hear your voice call on the breeze, on the ship out on the ocean

I see your face across the sea, you're in the waves surrounding me
I hear your voice call on the breeze, on the ship out on the ocean

On the ship out on the ocean, on the ship out on the ocean
