| Lyrics | In the Harbor of My Mother’s Arms Verse: Just like a ship on the ocean I sailed away one day in May, Swept by the tide of the world far and wide. Now, I am weary and say: Refrain: Take me back once again to the harbor of love. Take me back to the land of my dreams. For I’m only a rover who sailed the world over And never reached port so it seems. There’s a light burning bright by the shore ev’ry night And it tells of love’s wonderful charms. Lead me on kindly light, Let me anchor tonight In the harbor of my mother’s arms. Verse: There comes a day for returning Back to the nest to peace and rest. There’s only one after all’s said and done. That’s why my heart cries each day: Refrain |
