Lyrics by
Janie Worm
From the CD Closer to Home
I’m climbing aboard going where I wanna be.
My bow’s pointed North as I drift out to sea.
Jib and tack, got the sun at my back as I’m moving ahead.
Wind in my face, salt water taste, and I know I’m being led.. cause I’m…
Getting a little, getting a little closer.
Getting a little, getting further along.
I’m getting a little, getting a little closer to home.
The ocean’s in my veins. It courses through me.
The drumming of my heart is the rhythm of the sea.
Up and back, am I still on track? The waves lure me on.
I trim my sails as dolphins and whales silhouette in the golden sun, and I’m ….
Getting a little, getting a little closer.
Getting a little, getting further along.
I’m getting a little, getting a little closer to home.
The sun will rise and set.
I haven’t seen the shoreline yet, but I’m ….
Getting a little, getting a little closer.
Getting a little, getting further along.
I’m getting a little, getting a little closer to home.
The evening brings a calm. The stars talk to me.
A celestial song plays on as I listen to the sea.
Back and forth, “Am I still headed north?” I ask the compass of my heart.
Through tearful eyes, color fills the sky as the Northern Lights pierce the dark.
Getting a little, getting a little closer.
Getting a little, getting further along.
I’m getting a little, getting a little closer to home.
