Lyrics
Away From Home
Just as the wind carries me
Held aloft on memories
Walking all these distant hills
A Long way from my home
Every wave on every sea
All look the same to me
The moon shines down cold and still
A long way from my home
I still remember eyes of blue
Pretty words that came from you
I have trod on rugged plains
Lonely with an aching heart
I wonder if you think of me
Now so long ago it seems
I see your face in my dreams
Too pale and ghostly dim
I've endured the heat and storms
My soul is now beat and worn
Of wandering I've had my fill
Such a long way from my home
Like a bird song on the air
Sense your kind presence there
I wonder if you love me still
I'm so far away from home
I wonder if you love me still
I'm so far away from my home
