lyrics

Boarded a ship, just one more song
Blew her a kiss, weak smile and a nod
Farewell Maria, I said from the stairs
14 days forward, and we’ll have no cares

Blue skies upon us, sun overhead
Days all merge, as I lead the octet
Turn the covers over, awake to a crash
Harsh sound of a siren, and a stiff salty blast

Home ain’t that far away, the violins say
Home ain’t that far away, the violins say

Boys gather ‘round, let’s strike up a tune
Memory serves us, with no light from the moon
Smiles from the audience, one foot in their grave
Calming our people, with songs that we play

A shift in the strings, a message is sent
Life boats are gone, with our consent
Still all my song, my fellows and me
An orchestra nearer, my God to thee

Home ain’t that far away, the violins say
Home ain’t that far away, the violins say

My father will meet me, on Lancashire shores
They’ll sing of my songs, I hope I’m remembered for more
Nearer to God, but farther away
From all that I dreamt of, and the music I played

Up bow and down bow, as we hold to the rail
Crash of the symbols as our instruments fail
Goodbye Maria, the salt water swells
Good gentlemen, I bid you farewell

Home ain’t that far away, the violins say
Home ain’t that far away, the violins say
Home ain’t that far away, the violins say
Home ain’t that far away, the violins say
