There's a light on the sea
And it's shining for me
Cos I'm going away on the ocean

Said a boy that just said
Grabbed me out of my bed
Now my head's getting giddy with motion

Don't you worry sweetheart
I won't be gone long
I'll be coming home soon
I promise

I will carry your love
Deep inside of me
When the nighttime comes
I'll be yours

There's a light on the road
As the train pulls its load
Infant soldiers so keen
To get at them

Mama send me some socks
Cos the rats got the lot
But we're still sinking
In two feet of water

Don't you worry sweetheart
I won't be gone long
I'll be coming home soon
I promise

Don't you worry sweetheart
I won't be gone long
I'll be coming home soon
I promise

There's a light in the sky
So at last it's good-bye
As we gather the masks
At the station

Pull the throttle out, Jim
What a beautiful blimp
Now it could be a lengthy vacation

Don't you worry sweetheart
I won't be gone long
I'll be coming home soon
I promise

When the nighttime comes
I'll be yours
