home from the sea lyrics
[verse 1]
on a cold winters night
with a storm at its height
the lifeboat answered the call
they pitched and they tossed
till we thought they were lost
as we watched from the harbour wall

[verse 2]
though the night was pitch black
there was no turning back
for someone was waiting out there
but each volunteer
had to live with his fear
as they joined in a silent prayer

[chorus]
carry us home, home, home from the sea
angels of mercy, answer our plea
and carry us home, homе, home from the sea
carry us safеly home from the sea

[verse 3]
as they battle their way
past the mouth of the bay
it was blowing like never before
as they gallantly fought
every one of them thought
of loved ones back on the shore
[verse 4]
then a fl!cker of light
and they knew they were right
there she was on the crest of a wave
she’s an old fishing boat
and she’s barely afloat
please god, there are souls we can save

[chorus]
and carry them home, home, home from the sea
angels of mercy, answer our plea
and carry us home, home, home from the sea
carry us safely home from the sea

[verse 5]
and back in the town
in a street that runs down
to the sea and the harbour wall
they had gathered in pairs
at the foot of the stairs
to wait for the radio call

[verse 6]
and just before dawn
when all hope was gone
came a hush and a faraway sound
’twas the coxswain he roared
all survivors on board
thank god and we’re homeward bound
[chorus]
to carry them home, home, home from the sea
angels of mercy, answer our plea
and carry them home, home, home from the sea
carry them safely home from the sea

[chorus]
home, home, home from the sea
angels of mercy, answer our plea
and carry them home, home, home from the sea
carry them safely home from the sea
