I do it my way
I sail on a Friday
I don't do devotions
Or charms
And so far I've come to no harm
Three Lunar cycles
A prayer to Saint Michael
My mother pays destiny's dues
And I wear this swallow tattoo
You blow a kiss to your love from the stern
And promise to always return
We cross the ocean
No maps and no notion
The first thing we found was a storm
The worst one that I'd ever seen
Hundreds of miles from the last place of rest
Thousands of miles from the nest
Alveregna
Alveregna
Come home
Alveregna
Alveregna
Come home
We seemed like brothers
We dreamed of our mothers
And somehow we kept her afloat
Just two little lives in a boat
Fresh water fountain
And fruits of the mountain
I feasted on lies in my head
Well it kept me from drinking the sea
You mapped a course that was different to mine
You drank the ocean like wine
Alveregna
Alveregna
Come home
Alveregna
Alveregna
Come home
Gulls sound like laughter
I held you long after
The light in your eyes only moves
You were cold like our hooks and harpoons
Sunrise to sunset
I scanned for a silhouette
A thousand horizons unknown
Just me and the ocean alone
Mother, my cast away
Cradle of bones
Sing to me all the way home
Alveregna
Alveregna
Come home
Alveregna
Alveregna
Come home
Alveregna
Alveregna
Come home
Alveregna
Alveregna
Come home
