I'm leaving like driftwood from the shore
Iridescent isle
There's a keen sou'wester leaning starboard
Leaning starboard side
Years flit by in dreams
Never could they all have been
I'm looking to the north star again
In darkness it is locked
All my life I've felt a blind wave
Crashing into rocks
Toward the harbour light
I'm homeward with sails of white
Toward the harbour light
I'm homeward with sails of white
I'm watching as the waves embrace you
I'm watching them accept you as their own
As their own
I'm watching as the waves embrace you
I'm watching them accept you as their own
As their own
I'm ushered home by dolphins
Dolphins dancing in my wake
Floating over anything I find
Anything my imagination makes
Illuminate the night
I'm homeward on sails of white
Toward the harbour light
I'm homeward with sails of white
