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
