I traveled the world around Wandered far from home Sailed the ocean 'neath foreign skies Still further to roam Back into my baby's arms Safe from this world of woe That was such a long, long time ago. Captain hollered The cabin boy stared into the sun Shadows waltzing so close behind Ever far I run Back into my baby's arms Safe from this world of woe That was such a long, long time ago Sirens capture my trembling heart What's to be will be Moon is hidden The deal is done Spread her wings o'er me Back into my baby's arms Rising soft and low That was such a long, long time ago
