well I left London and my homeland
To get far away from the hustle and pace
And I came here to California
And here I thought I'd remain
But a restlessness
Stirs deep inside
And the oceans drift
calls my name
Let's go down where the ships come in
Moonlight shadows on the water
All the way to the journey's end
Sail before the storm comes
When the ships come in
It's long way to the farthest shore
And I'm counting these days
Gotta go now
Wanna get onboard
Before it's too late
Let the western winds
fill these sails
And the Northern star
Guide our way
Let's go down where the ships come in
Moonlight shadows on the water
All the way to the waters edge
Sail before the storm comes
When the ships come in
