1. We came here on his back
    and we caught your eye.
    The salty ocean wind
    made the seagulls cry.
    The rocking of his house
    had me holding on
    but I knew that I was safe
    from there on out.

    The waves that hit his face
    marked the past
    and the farrows on his skin,
    oh how time goes fast.
    And we are far from home but we’re so happy.
    Far from home, all alone but we’re so happy.

    After every sunny day
    came a stormy night,
    that’s when Finner would say
    “Keep your heads held high”
    And we were far from home but we’re so happy
    Far from home, all alone, but were so happy.
