Also recorded by:
Gracie Fields



Sailing home at the end of the day
With the north star to guide him
And light the way
Sailing home though the day has been long
>From the far off horizon
You’ll hear his song

The deep blue skies are her deep blue eyes
The gold of the sun is her hair
The winds that blow make his love boat go
Home to his love waiting there

Sailing home to her arms once again
With a cargo of daydreams
He’s sailing home.

As recorded by Gracie Fields

Sailing home at the end of the day
With the north star to guide him
And light the way
Sailing home though the day has been long
From the far off horizon
You’ll hear his song

The deep blue skies are her deep blue eyes
The gold of the sun is her hair
The winds that blow make his love boat go
Home to his love waiting there

Sailing home to her arms once again
With a cargo of daydreams
He’s sailing home.

The fisherman’s day is over
He dreams of a tender caress
And sails away to a moonlit bay
His heart of happiness

Sailing home at the end of the day
With the north star to guide him
And light the way
Sailing home though the day has been long
From the far off horizon
You’ll hear his song

The deep blue skies are her deep blue eyes
The gold of the sun is her hair
The winds that blow make his love boat go
Home to his love waiting there

Sailing home to her arms once again
With a cargo of daydreams
He’s sailing home.
