[Verse 1]

I have travelled the world around,

Am Em

Wandered far from home.

Sailed the ocean in foreign skies,

Am Em

Still further to roam.

[Chorus]

Back into my baby’s arms,

Am Em

Safe from this world of woe,

Am Em

That was such a long, long time ago.

[Verse 2]

Captain hollered, the cabin boy,

Am Em

Stared into the sun.

Shadows waltzing so close behind,

Am Em

Ever far I run.

[Chorus]

Back into my baby’s arms,

Am Em

Safe from this world of woe,

Am Em

That was such a long, long time ago.

[Verse 3]

Sirens capture my trembling heart,

Am Em

What's to be will be.

Moon is hidden, the deal is done,

Am Em

Spread your wings for me.

[Outro]

Back into my baby’s arms,

Am Em

Rising soft and low,

Am Em

That was such a long, long time ago.
