about

Even though our weather beaten hero has spent many years on the seas, with a new baby girl at home, he is missing home and the comfort of his wife... His father led him into the seaman life, and his mother fears for his safety.... he is very far from home..... but his heart has never left port.

lyrics

FAR FROM HOME B.Freeman 2018

I am just a sailor, I’ve been tossed upon the sea;
My face is brown and weathered by the sun
At night I stand before the mast and gaze up at the stars,
In solemn wonder…. And I dream of home.

I am my father’s son, I am my mother’s child
And when my work is done, I will go home.
Carry me across the sea, but my heart will never roam.
Far from home.

I left my mother long ago, to sail the seven seas,
Like my father's father, before me
And as I face the rising sun, I look to the horizon and I am humbled,
and I dream of home

I am my father’s son, I am my mother’s child
And when my work is done, I will go home.
Carry me across the sea, but my heart will never roam.
Far from home.

At home there is a baby, and she is safe in mama’s arms
She has brought new life into my heart.
And as I watch the golden rays of one more setting sun,
I am reminded, I am so alone....

I am my father’s son, I am my mother’s child
And when my work is done, I will go home.
Carry me across the sea, but my heart will never roam.
Far from home

Carry me across the sea, but my heart will never roam.
Far from home
