INDIANA

Fare thee well, now, Indiana; your green land's been good to me.
There I traveled, there I settled, there I raised up my family.
But the cord has never severed, and the longing each day has grown,
So tomorrow, I'll be leaving for the land I call my home.

Friends they tell me I am crazy, going back to just poverty.
America is, so they say now, the rich land of opportunity.
But the red deer runs so freely, and the heron slowly flies.
These are treasures of my homeland all your money couldn't buy.

While the ship lies by the harbour, I will look back on that shore.
I'll feel sorrow that I'm leaving this green land for evermore.
But when the ship lies on the ocean, for each day we're on the sea,
All the dreams I've had for years now, draw nearer to reality.

Fare thee well now, Indiana; your green land's been good to me.
There I settled, there I married, there I raised up my family.
But the cord has never severed, and the longing each day has grown.
So tomorrow, I'll be leaving for the land that I call my home.
