As a boy standing on a beach
I felt the waves lapping at my feet
Saw a ship sailing out to sea
And I dreamed about the day I'd leave
Take me back home to the place
Where dreams were all I'd known
Skipping out across the breaks
When we were skimming stones
Bitter wind blowing in my sails
A million miles from a friendly shore
Rolling thunder and a raging gale
I think I'm heading for the ocean floor
Take me back home to the place
Where dreams were all i'd known
Skipping out across the breaks
When we were skimming stones
Feel the waves rising up to drag you under
See the clouds rolling with the second of thunder
Light a beacon and let it burn
I know it's gonna be a long old haul
Will she prey for a safe return?
Is there anyone who waits at all?
Take me back home to the place
Where dreams were all I'd known
Skipping out across the breaks
When we were skimming stones
Skipping out across the breaks
When we were skimming stones
Take me back home to the place
Where dreams were all I'd known
I've got no map or a chart to trace
I'm soaking to my bones
Take me back home to the place
Where dreams were all i'd known
Skipping out over the breaks
When we were skimming stones
Skipping out over the breaks
When we were skimming stones
