Lead Me Home - Herbert Grönemeyer

the wind will slice\nthe air like ice\nand seabirds screech at me\nthe elements\nwill darkly duel\nbut your lighthouse i see\ni stand awake\nand grip the wheel\nagainst a violent sea\ni’m climbing up horizon bound\nbecause that’s where you’ll be\nlead me ever home\nendless raging foam\nfar too long i’ve been abroad\nlight your beacon fire\npilot my desire\npermission please\nto come aboard\nin this changing watch\nbatten down my hatch\nor i might break beneath the storm\nso hold me water tight\nthat i can sail all night\nwhen i come this time\ndon’t ever let me go\nthe sky will tear\nthe sea will growl\na wall of waves is pushing back\ndropping hearts\nfrom peak to trough\nwhere the weaker timbers crack\nand you’re as far\nas the ocean’s wide\nthough the salt may blind my eyes\ni can see\nthrough the swelling tears\nyou will always be my prize\nlead me ever home…
