Ithaca from Second Charter by The Evening Watch

I cast my prayer out to sea each night
From the rocks and the cliffs of home
Even though I always wake up alone
And where are you sailing?
I see the same stars that you see too
And I will be waiting
I breathe the same salt air, the same winds that carry you

Come home, before the sun flickers out
Come home, the island is your beating heart, my heart

I watch the offing grow bright each dawn
The edge of the world, the world I know
All I need is here deep in my soul
And the stories you’re making
I dream of the magic and valour thereof
And all you’re creating
Will be woven into our tapestry, our love

Come home, before the sun flickers out
Come home, the island is your beating heart, my heart
Come home, Ithaca will remain
Come home, Ithaca waits

Come home, before the sun flickers out
Come home, the island is your beating heart, my heart
Come home, before the sun flickers out
Come home, the island is your beating heart, my heart
