Rich Man's Silver lyrics

A lone heron flies into the last fire of sunset Wild seabirds cry sad for the passing of the day Had I the wings there is a dream I'd surely follow Swiftly they'd bring me where my thoughts so ever stray Long is the night 'mang the waves upon the ocean Dawn's early light finds me so far from native shore Gladly I came seeking the joy of rich man's silver Now is the flame of my dear youthland gold and more Black rain and drills calling me here amang these strangers The brewer's ancient skills can't cheer a heart that's growing cold Carry me o'er like a wild wave on the water Onto the shore of my fair heartland loved of old
