[Verse 1]
My boots know the planks
My hands know the rope
I learned how to float
I forgot how to hope
A ring in my coat
A name in my mouth
The tide took her north
And I stayed in this town
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m tired of the ache
Tired of the roll
Tired of this bottle
Tired of this cold
[Chorus]
Bring me back home
Bring me back home
Before I go under
Bring me back home
I’m a broken-hearted sailor
With a hole in my bones
Bring me back home
Bring me back home
[Verse 2]
The gulls on the mast
Keep screaming her name
I stare at the water
It knows the same pain
I’ve laughed with the boys
I’ve bled in the rain
But every full moon
I feel that old chain
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m one bad night
From letting go
One more dark wave
And I’ll sink slow
[Chorus]
Bring me back home
Bring me back home
Before I go under
Bring me back home
I’m a broken-hearted sailor
With a hole in my bones
Bring me back home
Bring me back home
[Bridge]
If you see the harbor
Tell it I’m near
Tell it I’m trying
To stay through the fear
Give me one morning
Give me one sign
Give me a reason
To keep my line
[Final Chorus]
Bring me back home
Bring me back home
Before I go under
Bring me back home
I’m a broken-hearted sailor
With a hole in my bones
Bring me back home
Bring me back home
