I tried to wait
For you to shake
Toronto town.
You couldn't so,
You let me go
And turned me down
You tried to change
My Newfie ways,
I understand.
Wrong or right,
I'm home tonight
I'm back in Newfoundland.
Down by the sea,
Where life is free
I'm home again.
Where I sail the blue
And think of you
Ans what might have been.
And if someday,
You can find a way
To change your plan
You'll find me here
Where there's no tears
Back home in Newfoundland.
My life goes on
Without your warm
And smiling face.
Though every care
Has been to share
One more embrace.
And as I write
From home tonight,
Please understand
You can always know
I loved you though
My heart's in Newfoundland
Where folks are real
And people feel
So deep inside.
And the sea just rolls
Right through the soul
Of Newfie pride
And if memories fold
Someday I'll hold
Another's hand,
But I'll roam no more
From Heaven's shore.
My home's in Newfoundland.
No, I'll roam no more
From Heaven's shore:
My home's in Newfoundland.
