I came home across the sea to my homeland once again It was nice to see the land where I was born.
And the air it felt so fresh, and the wind held back my tears
As I slowly walked down the gangway

O the night ferry has taken me home again
O the night ferry has taken me home again

Then I walked through the park where my father once held me
Where I learned to love and hate with all my friends.
Where I kissed my first girl,
and my friends they laughed at me
And the gate there where we met constantly.

I left home when I was sixteen, my people they didn't agree,
But it didn't bother me
As I sailed across the sea to seek a new country,
To seek opportunity to better myself

O the night ferry has taken me home again
O the night ferry has taken me home again
Yes the night ferry has taken me home again
