Far away over the sea There's a river that's calling to me That river she runs all around The place that I call my hometown There's a valley on the side of the hill And flowers on an old windowsill A familiar old picture it seems And I'll go there tonight in my dreams Where it's green in the summer And gold in the fall Her eyes are as blue As the sky I recall Far away over the sea There's a place at the table for me Where laughter and music abound Just waiting there in my hometown The river she freezes When there's snow on the ground And the children can slide To the far side of town Far away far away me Hung up on a sweet memory I'm lost and I wish I were found In the arms of my darlin' hometown With the evening sun sittin' On the top of the hill And the mockingbird answering The old chapel bell Far away over the sea My heart is longing to be And I wish I could lay myself down In the arms of my darlin' hometown
