[Verse 1]
Well my walls crumbled down
As I stepped into this town
But it's all over now
Lord, it's passed and gone

[Chorus]
But it's calm in the sea
All the houses will burn for free
Little darlin' of mine
Won't you please come home?

[Verse 2]
Well you're my woman
You're my girl
All the years in all the world
Can't hand it down from up high
Upon the round

[Chorus]
But it's calm in the sea
All the cities that burn for free
Little darlin' of mine
Won't you please come home?

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Well tell me now, get away
Every hour of every day
It's those lonely times that pass the most

[Chorus]
But it's calm in the sea
All the flags yonder burn for free
Little darlin' of mine
Won't you please come home?
