A Sailorman's Hymn

can you hear the sirens resound?

from the coastline of Ireland tonight

it's the song of a promising heart

of the souls that the ocean unite

and she stands by the window alone

staring into the rain

she is trying to guide his way home

from the waters that keep them apart

so she lights up a candle for hope to be found

captive and blind by the darkness around

firm as a mountain, she never will mourn

timeless awaiting the break of dawn

can you hear the sailorman's hymn?

as it comes with the rise of the tide

it is sung where the rainbow begins

as a comfort for the tears she has cried

she remains by the window alone

staring into the rain

she is trying to guide his way home

keeps on praying for god to protect him

she lights up a candle for hope to be found

captive and blind by the darkness around

each wave a promise, a new hope reborn

sunrise consoles at the break of dawn
