Holdstock And MacLeod Farewell now, Indiana Your green land's been good to me There I've travelled, there I've settled There I've 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 All my friends, say I am crazy Going back to such poverty Oh America is, so they say now The land of opportunity But the ??!! runs so swiftly And the heron slowly flies There are treasures from my homeland Oh your money cannot buy And while our ship lies in the harbo(u)r I look back upon that shore I feel sadness that I'm leaving Your green land forevermore And while ourship lies on the ocean And each day we're out on the sea All the dreams I had for years now Draw nearer reality So fare well now, Indiana Your green land's been good to me
