When The Ships Come Home 1918 'Oh Lady Lady'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 09 Mar 2005

Life's an ocean grim
that has no charts;
and the ships that swim on it are hearts:
O'er that lonely sea far,
far they roam;
but they've Love at the helm,
and he will bring them home.

Yes, all the little ships come sailing
home across the sea;
the weary journey ended,
their way they've wended home
where they would be.
They glide across the bar,
where no storms are, all dangers past;
and, two by two, together
come sailing home at last.

Yes, all the little ships come sailing
home across the sea;
the weary journey ended,
their way they've wended home
where they would be.
They glide across the bar,
where no storms are, all dangers past;
and, two by two, together
come sailing home at last.

Clouds may hide the skies
and gales may blow;
angry waves may rise,
but on they go:
filled each day may be
with dangers new;
but they've Love at the helm,
and he will guide them through.

Yes, all the little ships come sailing
home across the sea;
the weary journey ended,
their way they've wended home
where they would be.
They glide across the bar,
where no storms are, all dangers past;
and, two by two, together
come sailing home at last.

Yes, all the little ships come sailing
home across the sea;
the weary journey ended,
their way they've wended home
where they would be.
They glide across the bar,
where no storms are, all dangers past;
and, two by two, together
come sailing home at last.
