i wrote this song cuz i miss my dad,and he was a sailor,and i just might be one to biggrin this si kind of a sad happy folk song(i like accoustic guitars blaugh )
ANYWAYS!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
here i am again
alone on the docks
while the ships come in on the
waters that rock
back and forth
this truely is where i belong
all the sailormen hop off the
ship with a smile
greeted by loved ones whom
they havn't seen for a while
a good while
this truely is where i belong
you were last to get off
but when i saw your face
right there and then i went to
a whole other place
one i've never seen
this truely is where i belong

ships will go one way
i will go another
you should hear the things
that come up when i talk to mother
about when you're gone
and how much we miss you
but then i don't feel bad
cause i know you're doing what
you love to do

we live in a small lake city
and it's quite fine
a place where we always seem to have
the time
the time for all
this truely is where i call home
a hundred achers of nothing but general stores
pretty houses,bars,resturants
and then some more
and a bait shop
this truely is where i call home
my friend said hey let's go build
a treehouse out back
so i grabbed a captains wheel
to put on front of that
fun,old treehouse
this truely is where i call home

ships will go one way
i will go another
you should hear the things that come up
when i talk to mother
about when you're gone
and how much we miss you
but then i don't feel bad cause i know
you're doing what you love to do

when i get older i want to be a sailor
like my old man
like my old father
but now he's dead
and he still loves me i know
he'll be so proud to see me
working on the vessels
that he once loved and worked on
through all the hassles
but he did it
and he still loves me i know
it'll be lots of fun
and a whole lotta work
i'm prepared for the time that i'm
gonna get hurt
but dad's happy
and he still loves me i know

[chorus]

i won't pass here
i won't pass by
for the fear that my crying will get
the best of me
i don't see a need to travle
when home's all i want
there are some things worth trying
that i've never seen
but i'd like to know
if it stops
if it mocks
and why the waters rock
why the ships and the boats leave for sea
why the air is so fresh
and why is this place the best
why is it perfect for me

you should hear the things that come up
when i talk to mother
about when you're gone and how much
we miss you
but then i don't feel bad
cause i know you're doing what you
love to do
and please do it for me to heart
