Song Lyrics

There's a light on the sea
And it's shining for me
'Cause I'm going away on the ocean
Said a boy that just said
Grabbed me out of my bed
Now my head's getting giddy with motion
Don't you worry sweetheart
I won't be gone long
I'll be coming home soon
I promise
I will carry your love
Deep inside of me
When the nighttime comes
I'll be yours
There's a light on the road
As the train pulls its load
Infant soldiers so keen
To get at them
Mama send me some socks
'Cause the rats got the lot
But we're still sinking
In two feet of water
Don't you worry sweetheart
I won't be gone long
I'll be coming home soon
I promise
Don't you worry sweetheart
I won't be gone long
I'll be coming home soon
I promise
There's a light in the sky
So at last it's good-bye
As we gather the masks
At the station
Pull the throttle out, Jim
What a beautiful blimp
Now it could be a lengthy vacation
Don't you worry sweetheart
I won't be gone long
I'll be coming home soon
I promise
When the nighttime comes
I'll be yours
