"Attention shipping information in sea areas...Bell Rock, Tiree, 
Cromaty, gale east...Malin, Sellafield..."

"Come here with me now."

(Same as beginning)

Oh, I'll wake up
To any sound of engines,
Ev'ry gull a seeking craft.
I can't keep my eyes open--
Wish I had my radio.

I tune in to some friendly voices
Talking 'bout stupid things.
I can't be left to my imagination.

Let me be weak,
Let me sleep
And dream of sheep.

           E                            c#/E    f#/EAnd they say they take me home.

         E         f#/E             B/E         f#/E      BLike poppies heavy with seed

                          E      A      B/C#          E   (leave G# out for ambiguity)They take me deeper and deeper.
