You say_ "Well-met again_ Loc k-keeper_
We're la_-den even dee __-per_ than_ the time before_
O riental oils_ and tea__ brought down_ from _ Singapore"_ _
As we wait for_ my lock_ to cycle_
I say_ " My_ wife__ has_ just given__ me__ a son"_ _
"A son!"_ you cry_ "Is that all__ tha-a-at_ you've _ done?"_ _
She wears __ bougainvillea_ blossoms_
You pluck 'em__ from_ her hair__ and_ toss 'em in__ the tide_
Sweep her in your arms__ and carry her_ in__- side_
Her sighs_ catch on your shoulder_
Her moon_-lit eyes_ grow bold__ and wi_- ser through_ her tears_
And I say_ "How_ could you stand__ to leave_ her_ for a year?"_
"Then come_ with me"__ you say__ "to where the Southern_ Cross
Rides hi-igh_ upon yo- our__ shou-oul-__ der"___
" Come with me!"__ you cry__
"Each day-ay_ you tend_ this_ lock_ you're__ one day_ o-__o-ol_- der__
While_ your_ blood__ _grows__ col___- _der"_ _ _ ___
But that anchor chain's_ a fetter_
And with it__ you are te thered__ to__ the foam____
And I_ wouldn't_ trade_ your__ life_ for one ho-our_ of home____

Sure_ I'm stuck here_ on the Seaway_
While you_ com_-pensate for lee_-way_ through_ the Trades_
And you shoot the stars__ to see_ the miles_ you- ou've__ made_ _
And you laugh at_ hearts__ you've riven_
But which of_ these_ has_ given_ us_ more love_ o-or life_
You_ your_ tropi c maids__ or me___ _ my wife __
"Then come_ with me"__ you say__ "to where the Southern_ Cross
Rides hi-igh_ upon yo- our__ shou-oul-__ der"___
" Come with me!"__ you cry__
"Each day-ay_ you tend_ this_ lock_ you're__ one day_ o-__o-ol_- der__
While_ your_ blood__ _grows__ col___- _der"_ _ _ ___
But that anchor chain's_ a fetter_
And with it__ you are te thered__ to__ the foam____
And I_ wouldn't_ trade_ your__ life_ for one ho-our_ of home____
But that anchor chain's_ a fetter_
And with it__ you are te thered__ to__ the foam____
And I_ wouldn't_ trade_ your__ whole-life_ for one ho-our_ of home____
