Standard (EADGBE)

Where sun and wind play on a ring of bright water

That's where my heartland will be

The deer on the hill in the first snow of winter

the gull in the sky winging free

I wandered away from the dark crowded city,

Leaving my old life behind,

And came to a place where a ring of bright water,

Dazzled the care from my mind.

So I live with the wonder of the sky and the sea

And I'll always remember who revealed them to me

But now you are gone with your whirlpools of laughter

Racing me down to the sea

But I always smile when a ring of bright water

Echoes your laughter to me.
