Intro: G (repeat) [sigh]
I'm battening the hatches
And I'm pulling in the sails
And I'm going home forever
Now is where my heart prevails
'Cause know I'll always love you
And wish I was by your side
And I know I will always miss you
I know you are being good, girl
'Cause I can hear your kitty purr
She is lying there beside you
And I'm wishing I were her
And I Know I'll always love you
And wish I was by your side
So he'd better be good to you, I will
Never have the chance to try
I'm battening the hatches
And I'm pulling in the sails
And I'm going home forever
Now is where my heart prevails
