Anthony Phillips - Souvenir lyrics

[From the album Private Parts & Pieces IV: A Catch At The Tables]

There's a light on the sea

And it's shining for me

Cos I'm going away on the ocean

Said a boy that just said

Grabbed me out of my bed

Now my head's getting giddy with motion

Don't you worry sweetheart

I won't be gone long

I'll be coming home soon

I promise

I will carry your love

Deep inside of me

When the nighttime comes

I'll be yours

There's a light on the road

As the train pulls it's load

Infant soldiers so keen

To get at them

Mama send me some socks

Cos the rats got the lot

But we're still sinking

In two feet of water

Don't you worry sweetheart

I won't be gone long

I'll be coming home soon

I promise

Don't you worry sweetheart

I won't be gone long

I'll be coming home soon

I promise

There's a light in the sky

So at last it's good-bye

As we gather the masks

At the station

Pull the throttle out, Jim

What a beautiful blimp

Now it could be a lengthy vacation

Don't you worry sweetheart

I won't be gone long

I'll be coming home soon

I promise

When the nighttime comes

I'll be yours
