When I dream, I dream in emerald green
And when I wake, my tears run down like a stream
O'er those rolling hills of stone
Lies the place where I'll rest my weary bones
With any luck we'll meet again someday
I'll bring with me a gift of words to say
Of words to say, I left so many in my wake
Sinking slowly in the foam and the spray
Spread your arms to the sea, my dear
Let the waves carry you far from here
Across the endless depths I've steered
To bring you back to me
To bring you back to me
Well carry on, my ramblin' one
Til the waves swallow the orange sun
One last time we'll walk upon this isle
That meets the sea in this land of emerald green
Spread your arms to the sea, my dear
Let the waves carry you far from here
Across the endless depths I've steered
To bring you back to me
To bring you back to me
