Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We came here on his back
And we caught your eye
The salty ocean wind
Made the seagulls cry
[Verse 2]
The rocking of his house
Had me holding on
But I knew that I was safe
From there on out
[Verse 3]
And the waves that hit his face
Marked the past
And the furrows on his skin
Oh, how time goes fast
[Verse 4]
And we are far from home
But we're so happy
Far from home, all alone
But we're so happy
[Verse 5]
La, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
La, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
[Verse 6]
After every sunny day
Came a stormy night
That's when Finner would say
Keep your heads held high
[Verse 7]
And we are far from home
But we're so happy
Far from home, all alone
But we're so happy
[Verse 8]
La, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
La, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
[Verse 9]
And we are far from home (La, la-la-la)
But we're so happy (La-la-la, la-la-la)
Far from home, all alone (La, la-la-la)
But we're so happy (La-la-la, la-la-la)
[Verse 10]
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
[Verse 11]
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
