Original lyrics
EN'Neath these trees
Towering to the sky
I have walked the years
Forest home
I have heard the call
And must say good-bye
Fare thee well
I sail upon the dawn
To another world
That beckons me
Chorus:
Hold to me closer
While you tarry
Here with me
The sea bell is chiming
My ship sets sail
Farewell to thee
Here we stand
Waiting though we know
That the time has come
Call to me in dreams
I will come to you
And we'll walk once more
On this silver shore
Chorus:
Hold to me closer
While you tarry
Here with me
The sea bell is chiming
My ship sets sail
Farewell to thee
