Home Away From Home

Overhead an Irish dawn is breaking
 And this sailor is sad to say farewell
 To the warmth, the welcome and the laughter
 Cause I've a feeling we're sailing into hell
 Will I ever see the sunlight
 As it rises once more above Benone
 It's a long way from Chicago
 But I'll remember this home away from home
 Now the coast of Ireland lies behind us
 And God only knows what lies ahead
 Will I still hear the sound of children singing
 When I'm surrounded by the dying and the dead
 Will I ever see the sunlight
 As it rises once more above Benone
 It's a long way from Chicago
 But I'll remember this home away from home
 Will I ever see the sunlight
 As it rises once more above Benone
 It's a long way from Chicago
 But I'll remember this home away from home
