[Verse 1]
Are you home from the sea
My soul balladeer
You've been away roaming
Far away from here
Weathered a storm
Your heart unafraid
Crossed every ocean
In the boat that you made

[Verse 2]
Been blowing your horn
Scaring the spooks
No crotchets or quavers
In your books
Gone sailing all night
Straight in the vein
Like a bird on his own flight
In his domain

[Chorus]
In the sky
In the sky

[Verse 3]
Running in on the tide
With the first of the stars
The moon on the water
And the sound of guitars
Glide into the homing
As the night falls
Tie up in the haven
By the old harbour wall
[Verse 4]
And the hard-bitten stranger
As deaf as a post
Who stands at the fire
Where a poet's dreams roast
He can't know the story
He can't feel the pain
And all of the glory
Falls around him like rain

[Chorus]
In the sky
In the sky
La, la, lala, la

[Verse 5]
You're a light in the dark
A beacon of hope
And strong as a seaboat
Strong as a rope
And the vagabond wind
Whispers over the bay
And the songs and the laughter
Are carried away

[Chorus]
In the sky
In the sky
La, la, lala, la
[Chorus]
In the sky
In the sky
La, la, lala, la
