Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dreaming of Home
1. Far from the highlands And the westerly islands, By many a strange land Over the foam, Fine ships are a-steaming And the sailor is dreaming, Dreaming of heaven, Dreaming of home.
CHORUS: Now darkness is falling. A piper is calling. The melody lingers Wherever I roam. The shadows are stealing Over mountain and sheiling, And blessed is the sailor Dreaming of home.
2. I've seen Gibraltar, Monte Carlo and Malta, The isles of the south seas, The fountains of Rome. Fond memories I treasure But I'm filled with such pleasure As I lie dreaming, Dreaming of home. CHORUS
3. Down by the millside In the shade of the hillside, Young lovers once promised, Never to part, And oh, how I'm longing To be there at the dawning Holding you tightly, Joy of my heart. CHORUS
