Home on the Sea - Skipinnish

Bring us home on the sea, in the warm island weather, as the ferry leaves the harbour, we again will be together.

Bring us home on the sea.

Many summers passed away, since the last days we parted but the blessings of the ocean bring us back to where we started.

Bring us home on the sea.

From the waters of the Clyde to the Hebridean voyage the culture of our Islands and (loads?) of skill and knowledge.

Bring us home on the sea.

See the wash roll off the burn,

and caress familiar color,

purple, black and white, a beauty,

as it lies (?) and proudly guard her.

Bring us home on the sea, in the warm island weather, as the ferry leaves the harbour,

we again will be together.

Bring us home on the sea.

And will see again the men,

wearing symbols of their station,

on the bridge wing and the stern

tying ropes of generations.

Bring us home on the sea.

All the wonders of the world,

they will never quell the burning,

for the power of the yearning,

for the day we'll be returning.

Bring us home on the sea, in the warm island weather, as the ferry leaves the harbour,

we again will be together.

Bring us home on the sea, in the warm island weather, as the ferry leaves the harbour,

we again will be together.

Bring us home on the sea,

Bring us home on the sea.
