Lyrics

In a place far away there is a fire
That burns in a hearth of Irish stone
And on summer nights around it we would gather
In the flames my mind was free to roam
For as a boy I would stand upon the headland
A thousand miles form the city that I knew
And in the waves I could hear a kind of music
That sang to me of places strange and new
Places strange and new

In that bay where I spent a million hours
Boyhood dreams and adventures could come true
In the wind I cold hear a secret calling
Now I long for those sights both old and new
For I have been to the far side of the world
And I have seen seas and oceans, other lands
But far away there's a heaerth and a headland
Far away is my own homeland

*Chorus
And now I dream of the soft rain and the sunshine
From the shore to the green hills and the vales.
To feel the touch of the breeze across the ocean,
And to hear the whisper of the waves.

Across that sea I found love and adventure
Boyhood dreams long forgotten came to be
But in the depths of my heart there is a longing
To share and see again a part of me
To take you to that place of love and music
To the peace and they joy it holds in store
Where the tides was away the fear and longing
And the moonlit waves caress the golden shore

*Chorus

**Chorus Coda
