Wrote this one for a band that requested songs. They didn't like this one, so I kept it. It's proven quite popular at shows
lyrics
In a harbor town where the streets roll down
to the fishing boats on the shore
where the ships roll in from the stormy main
Bringing lonely ones back home
from rolling waves and endless days
where the nights are long for the pay,
We kneel and pray at the end of day
the same words we all do say
teh same words we all do say;
Take me home
for it's always on my mind
Take me home
I got nothing left but time
And those nights on shore- if there could be more
of the wine and song the whole night through
and the midnight sky in a blue, blue eye
and a smile from one so true
And the whispers amongst the laughs and cries
once the dancing dies for the night
and teh willing ear of a one so dear
hears the words that fall so right
they hear the words that fall so right;
Take me home
for it's always on my mind
Take me home
I got nothing left but time
