Are you home from the sea, my soul balladeer   You?ve been away roamin? far away from here   Weathered a storm, your heart unafraid   Crossed every ocean in the boat that you made      Been blowin? your horn, scarin? the spooks   No crotchets or quavers in your books   Gone sailin? all night, straight in the vein   Like a bird on his own flight in his domain      In the sky   In the sky      Runnin? in on the tide with the first of the stars   The moon on the water and the sound of guitars   Glide into the homin? as the night falls   Tie up in the haven by the old harbor wall      And the hard-bitten stranger, deaf as a post   Who stands at the fire where a poet?s dreams roast   He can?t know the story, he can?t feel the pain   And all of the glory falls around him like rain      In the sky   In the sky      You?re a light in the dark, beacon of hope   And strong as a sea boat, strong as a rope   And the vagabond wind whispers over the bay   And the songs and the laughter are carried away      In the sky   In the sky   In the sky   In the sky
