My heart is yearning to follow the sun Westward o'er a golden sea Upon a raft made of my memories. I will anchor there when day is done On my beloved homes distant shore And those I love will welcome me once more. But words that I'd been saving now are gone scattered like rose petals on far streets, Then what is left to spread beneath their feet? Or it may be I've been away to long And there is nothing more for me to see And only ghosts are left to welcome me.
