Lyrics
If I’ve no will to go from home
Or have no urge the seas to roam
Or turn my back on a distant star
And never burn to wander far
It’s not because of fear
It’s because my goal is clear

CHORUS: There’s a far land, I’m told
Where I’ll find a field of gold
But here I’ll stay with you.
And they say there’s an isle deep with clover
Where your heart wears a smile all day through.
But I know well they’re wrong and I know where I belong,
And here I’ll stay with you.
For that land is a sandy illusion
It’s the theme of a dream gone astray,
And the world others woo I can find loving you,
And so here I’ll stay!
