Are you home from the sea
My soul balladeer
You've been away roamin'
Far away from here
Weathered a storm
Your heart unafraid
Crossed every ocean
In the boat that you made
Been blowin' your horn
Scarin' the spooks
No crotchets or quavers
In your books
Gone sailin' all night
Straight in the vein
Like a bird on his own flight
In his domain
In the sky
In the sky
Runnin' in on the tide
With the first of the stars
The moon on the water
And the sound of guitars
Glide into the homin'
As the night falls
Tie up in the haven
By the old harbor wall
And the hard-bitten stranger
Deaf as a post
Who stands at the fire
Where a poet's dreams roast
He can't know the story
He can't feel the pain
And all of the glory
Falls around him like rain
In the sky
In the sky
You're a light in the dark
Beacon of hope
And strong as a sea boat
Strong as a rope
And the vagabond wind
Whispers over the bay
And the songs and the laughter
Are carried away
In the sky
In the sky
In the sky
In the sky
