Herbert Grönemeyer - Lead Me Home lyrics

The wind will slice The air like ice And seabirds screech at me The elements Will darkly duel But your lighthouse I see I stand awake And grip the wheel Against a violent sea I'm climbing up horizon bound Because that's where you'll be. Lead me ever home Endless raging foam Far too long I've been abroad Light your beacon fire Pilot my desire Permission please To come aboard In this changing watch Batten down my hatch Or I might break beneath the storm So hold me water tight That I can sail all night When I come this time Don't ever let me go. The sky will tear The sea will growl A wall of waves is pushing back Dropping hearts From peak to trough Where the weaker timbers crack And you're as far As the ocean's wide Though the salt may blind my eyes I can see Through the swelling tears You will always be my prize. Lead me ever home Endless raging foam Far too long I've been abroad Light your beacon fire Pilot my desire Permission please To come aboard In this changing watch Batten down my hatch Or I might break beneath the storm So hold me water tight That I can sail all night When I come this time Don't ever let me go.
