(Chorus) Far from the shore, my heart does cry, Beneath the stars and the endless sky. The waves they roar, the gulls they flee, But none bring my love back home to me. (Verse 1) The lantern glows with a fading flame, Each night I whisper your sweet name. The tide rolls on, but the years feel slow, And my weary soul longs to go. (Chorus) Far from the shore, my heart does cry, Beneath the stars and the endless sky. The waves they roar, the gulls they flee, But none bring my love back home to me. (Verse 2) The captain calls, and the sails must rise, But my thoughts drift home to your gentle eyes. Through storm and rain, through salt and foam, I curse the sea that keeps me from home. (Chorus) Far from the shore, my heart does cry, Beneath the stars and the endless sky. The waves they roar, the gulls they flee, But none bring my love back home to me. (Verse 3) If ever I stand on that land once more, I’ll cast no glance to the ocean’s door. For the sea may take, but it cannot give, And I long for the life I might yet live. (Chorus) Far from the shore, my heart does cry, Beneath the stars and the endless sky. The waves they roar, the gulls they flee, But none bring my love back home to me.
