Sistine (1984) Lyrics - Phillips Anthony

[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 its 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
