Sweep long.
Pull strong.
Come on.
Come home.
One stroke for the promise.
One stroke for the name.
If you want my love, row for it.
If you mean it, row the same.
(Oh) Row the same.

Out on the deep, when the sun is low,
Water burns, and so do I.
Every oar bite cuts toward land,
Every flash keeps hope alive.
Out on the deep, do not drift on me.
Let the boat point true.
I can stand with fire in my chest,
But I will not row for two.

"Out on the deep, when the sun is low,"
"And the sea with splendor burns,"
(Oooh) (Ahh)

Now the day lies down, and the first star lifts,
Silver over foam.
Do you feel my name out past the dark,
Or am I turning cold?
The dead day pulls at what we had.
The water gives it back.
If love still gleams beneath your oar,
Then turn before it cracks.

Long sweep, strong sweep,
Bring that body home.
For the hearts that yearn for home return,
When the evening sun is low.
Long sweep, strong sweep,
Do not let us go.
If you want this love across that water,
Baby, make those oars say so.
(Oh) Say so.
(Mmm) Say so.

Out on the deep, when the sun is dead,
You row through former days.
That first sweet star can read your face
When pride gets in the way.
You think I am far, but I ride that gleam
Broken under your oar.
Do not sell me brave little silence.
Turn and choose once more.

Long sweep, strong sweep,
Bring that body home.
For the hearts that yearn for home return,
When the evening sun is low.
Long sweep, strong sweep,
Night has teeth, I know.
If you want this love across that water,
Baby, make those oars say so.
(Oh) Say so.
(Hey) Say so.

Slow sweep.
Low sweep.
Heavy hands.
Salt grief.
Slow sweep.
Low sweep.
Still I stand.
Still I sing.
(Mmm)

"A slow sweep, lads, and a low sweep, boys,"
"And a song as along we go,"
"For the star of love that is bright above,"
(Ooh) (Mm)

Let the star guide, not own you.
Let the tide tell what you did.
A gleam can kiss the wave all night
And still not be the moon.
Bring clean hands, or bring nothing.
Bring your whole weight through.
If you stay past the reach of my fire,
My light stays mine, not you.

Home return.
Home return.
Come home.
Long sweep.
Strong sweep.
Come home.
Hearts that yearn.
Hearts that yearn.
Pull, pull.
Come home.
(Ahh) (Oh)

Long sweep, strong sweep,
Bring that body home.
For the hearts that yearn for home return,
When the evening sun is low.
Out on the deep, I keep shining.
Out on the deep, I am not done.
If you want this love across that water,
Row with both hands, or row alone.
Long sweep, strong sweep,
Let the star still show.
If you want my shore, keep coming.
If you do not, I will know.
(Whoa) I will know.
(Oooh) I will know.

Slow sweep.
Low sweep.
Oar in the dark.
Water pull.
Still I sing.
Long sweep.
Strong sweep.
Out on the deep.
Home return.
