They came to the north....On a ship of dreams they'd sail

Across the sea of ice...In search of whale

 

The ocean waves lashed as they hoist their sail

Secured all the ropes being pounded by hail

 

Ohhhh - when dreams turn to nightmares

Ohhhh - no light from the stars to guide

 

The capitain cursed orders...the crew tried to follow

The bow of the ship surrendered to the ice

 

One man to the left, one man to the right

The ocean so rough, they prayed for flight

 

Ohhhh - when dreams turn to nightmares

Ohhhh - no calm seas ahead - or safety

 

Now John was a man...of the sword

He casted with might - as he secured the boards

 

Relentless was wind, and blinding was light

He thought of his wrongs, he wished them right...

 

Ohhhh - when dreams turn to nightmares

Ohhhh - is there anyone out there

 

The capitain ordered his valient crew under

With the swells drowning, and crashes of thunder

 

the decision was final - all due to the tidal

They'd wait it out in hopes of a better tomorrow

 

Ohhhh - when dreams turn to nightmares

Ohhhh - haste, pain, and sorrow

 

As fast as it came, it left without warning

The sea was as calm as 3 days before

 

The daybreak ws peaceful, with flyin' seagulls

And once again they hoisted the sails for home....

 

Ohhhh - when dreams turn to nightmares

Ohhhh - we're goin' home

Ohhhh - we're on our way home

Ohhhh - we're close to our home

Ohhhh - It's good to be home
