I wake the morning sun
Gold as the ring that I wore
Back when we woke as one
On a distant shore
There, life is blooming now
Close by the wide ocean's roar
If I could buy wings I'd fly
To that distant shore
When you think of me, sing a heart-spun song
When it's over, sing it once more
When you dream of me, dream when I'll meet you
On that distant shore
Love sleeping in my arms
Eyes like your father before
Born to have your father's need
For a distant shore
When you think of me, sing a wide-open song
When it's over, sing it once more
When you dream of me, dream when I'll meet you
On that distant shore
Life is a stormy sea
Hearts can be tattered and torn
I still believe peace can be found
On that distant shore
When you think of me, sing an unbroken song
When it's over, sing it once more
When you dream of me, dream when I'll meet you
On the distant shore
On the distant shore
