                                     F
When the cold nights of winter weigh heavy on my mind

       Dm                   Eb
I walk down to the river to ease my worried mind

      Bb                        Cm            Gm              F
I can see the reflection of the moon on every ice floe in the bay

      Eb               F               Bb
And I know that you’ll soon be on your way
[Verse]
                                            F
And when the pines stand tall and silent, beneath the starry sky

    Dm                          Eb
The letter that you wrote me, I read a thousand times

      Bb                         Cm            Gm              F
I can see the reflection of your face on every ice floe in the bay

And I know that you’ll soon be on your way
[Chorus]
          F           Gm                 Eb
Come back home to the ones that love you true

          F           Gm                 Eb
Come back home to the ones that miss you so

           Bb
Seems like you were gone forever

        Cm               Gm         F
But for you I’ll wait forever and a day

      Eb               F               Bb
And I know that you’ll soon be on your way
[Instrumental] Bb F Gm Eb Bb Cm Gm F Eb F Bb [Verse]
                                      F
When the first rays of sunshine, come melt the night away

       Dm                     Eb
On the day you return, I will walk down to the bay

         Bb                          Cm                 Gm            F
And I’ll wait by the water, ‘til the ship pulls in that took you far away

    Eb             F                  Bb
Oh, mother dear, I miss you more each day
[Verse]
                                F
And my brother and my father, I know they miss you, too

    Dm                        Eb
The waiting would be easy, if only we could know

         Bb                               Cm                 Gm          F
Have you reached your destination in some far off shore, wherever it may lay?

      Eb               F               Bb
And I know that you’ll soon be on your way
[Chorus]
          F           Gm                 Eb
Come back home to the ones that love you true

Come back home to the ones that miss you so

And I know that you’ll soon be on your way
