I can see the lights of home
Shining brightly o’er the foam,
Beckon to me while I roam 
Away from lights of home.

I can see somebody there,
Loving eyes and silver hair,
I can see her kneel in prayer
Beneath the lights of home.

In that little old sleepy town,
Nothing happens when the sun goes down,
Not a thing but moonbeams run around,
In a starry dome.

Turn the hands of time for me,
Let me live my memory,
Once again I long to be 
Beneath the lights of home.
