Lyrics

[Verse 1] I do it my way I sail on a Friday I don't do devotions or charms And so far I've come to no harm [Verse 2] Three lunar cycles A prayer to Saint Michael My mother pays destiny's dues And I wear this swallow tattoo You blow a kiss to your love from the stern And promise to always return [Verse 3] We cross the ocean No maps and no notion The first thing we found was storm Worst one that I'd ever seen Hundreds of miles from the last place of rest Thousands of miles from the next [Chorus] Alverenga Alverenga, come home Alverenga Alverenga, come home! [Verse 4] We seemed like brothers We dreamed of our mothers And somehow, we kept her afloat Just two little lives in a boat [Verse 5] Fresh water fountain The fruits of the mountain I feasted on lies in my head Well, it kept me from drinking the sea You mapped a course that was different to mine You drank the ocean like wine [Chorus] Alverenga Alverenga, come home Alverenga Alverenga, come home! [Verse 6] Gulls sounds like laughter I held you long after The light in your eyes only [?] You were cold like our hooks and harpoons [Verse 7] Sunrise to sunset I scanned for a silhouette A thousand horizons unknown Just me and the ocean, alone Mother, my castaway cradle of bones Sing to me all the way home [Chorus] Alverenga Alverenga, come home Alverenga Alverenga, come home! Alverenga Alverenga, come home Alverenga Alverenga, come home!
