Far From the Shore

Far from the shore
My peaceful shore
Where I spent the days listening
To the lapping waters

Far from my shore
My dear lovely shore
Where I spent the day singing
With the seagulls joining in

I am far from my shore
Where I and my brothers
Would spend the day fishing
Hardly ever catching a thing

I long for my shore
For my long forsaken cottage
For my mothers rocking chair
For her gentle arms around me

Oh how I long for my shore
For my home
For my family

Oh how I long for my life
Of love and laughter
