The Brothers Four
Across the Sea
[Verse 1]
Up aloft amid the rigging
Swiftly blows the favoring gale
Soft as springtime in each blossom
Filling out each bending sail
[Chorus]
Rolling home, rolling home
Rolling home across the sea
Rolling home to dear old England
Rolling home, dear land, to thee
[Verse 2]
Six long years since I've seen Dover
Now we're nearing England's shore
Six more days to ride the West wind
And I'll ride the wind no more
[Chorus]
Rolling home, rolling home
Rolling home across the sea
Rolling home to dear old England
Rolling home, dear land, to thee
[Verse 3]
Dawn you welcome light of morning
Shine you summer sun above
Blow you gentle winds from westward
To guide us home to those we love
[Chorus]
Rolling home, rolling home
Rolling home across the sea
Rolling home to dear old England
Rolling home, dear land, to thee
[Outro]
Rolling home, rolling home
Rolling home
