West wind breezes bring me here
Down from the rocks, across this rugged sand
You held my hand, our bodies young and tanned
Love found us by the ocean's distant side
Watching waves roll with the evening tide
Come back to me, love, please hear me this time
Your memory's floating in the pale moonlight
That world you opened, when you called my name
This heart's on fire, and you're the flame
(You're the flame, darling)
Just listen to these gulls flying near the shore
Crying out your name as they dive and soar
Don't you stray too far from my heart
Every mile away's too far apart
You see, I'm yearning deep (Bring it back home, sweetheart)
Yearning deep, can't find no sleep, darling
(Bring it back home, darling) But I'm yearning deep
Under stars so bright, where you held me tight
The ocean sways in the silver moonlight
And then the morning breaks, I watch your figure fade
We're a thousand miles apart, longing for your embrace
Baby, come back before the sun fades
Before it slips beneath the ocean's waves
(Bring it back home, darling)
I'm drowning in the sand, pleading for your hand
Without you here, I don't understand
Wondering just where my life would be today
If everything I loved wasn't lost to yesterday
Memories like these footprints I watch slowly fade
They disappear before my eyes erased by the waves
The scent of salt lingers in the warm air
It brings those tears that remind me you're not there
Though I've been standing here waiting night by night
Feels like this is the last time, I won't see the light
(Bring it back home, sweetheart)
Yearning deep, can't find no sleep, darling
(Bring it back home, darling) But I'm yearning deep
