I dreamt I was back home
You were lying there with me
The world was warm and peaceful
The air was soft and sweet
But my longings pulled me far away
To this icy, dreadful sea
Now the waves around are caving in
I fear that I may never leave
How I wish I could remain
In those gentle distant days
Where the fire warmed the soles of both our feet
Despite all these raging waves
I'll seek comfort in the faith
That the compass and the wheel
Will lead me home
I can hear the timbers creaking
I fear it won't be long
In the faint hope these words reach you
Know that I've loved you for so long
How I wish I could remain
In your tender warm embrace
All wrapped up inside the comfort that you bring
Despite all this endless space
I'll seek comfort in the faith
That the compass and the wheel
Will lead me home
Carry me away
Sweet Brooklyn calls my name
When the kids were home and we were a family
Despite all these raging waves
I'll take comfort in the faith
That the compass and the wheel will lead me home
