In My Arms Abide

It's been 20 long weeks since I left you

5 whole months with the salt and the sea and the blue

I've read your letter my dear

Though it brings me more fear

To think that you don't know my heart

Well it's for you that I yearn

And when I return

From you I'll never depart

Oh when your faithful tide is low

And the devil's cold wind may blow

Stay by my side

When the rain keeps a-falling

And the whole world is calling

Oh in my arms abide

In my arms abide

In my arms abide

My love for you is big enough for two

In my arms abide

With a bottle and cork, conviction I'll write

How my heart burns fierce in the cold winter's night

I'll stay firm in the gale

Endure the cold hail

All for this love that is true

Oh listen, I plea

Trust in the sea

To carry my message to you

If you're sad or you're scared

All the world's teeth they are bared

I'll be your guide

When you're drowned by a wave

Know I'll keep you safe

In my arms abide

In my arms abide

In my arms abide

My love for you is big enough for two

In my arms abide

So all sailors and women; listen today

Remember my words when you're parting your ways

To your lover attend

While time is your friend

Weigh your anchor before

Tell all that you can

Then you'll leave a man

When you set sail from the shore

Roam the world, if you must

But leave no doubt that in you she can trust

The storms you will ride

Just tell her it's true

You've enough love for two

That in your arms she'll abide

In my arms abide

In my arms abide

My love for you is big enough for two

In my arms abide

In my arms abide

In my arms abide

My love for you is big enough for two

In my arms abide
