I have traveled to faraway oceans
And forgotten you in the wonders I've seen;
They have bewitched me, the places I've been
Shaken my mind and stirred my emotions.

Dreams of adventure have pulled me away,
I've been enraptured by the infinite blue,
Without looking back I've abandoned you,
My cursed quest eclipsed you more every day.

Yet, in the end, I always return;
Your hold is stronger than the pull of the tide
More than the deep sea, for you I yearn.

So next time I leave for the ocean wide
Know that there is no reason for your concern
I will come back; only to you I am tied.
