Bm A G A Bm

Where sun and wind play on a ring of bright water

Bm E F#

That's where my heartland will be

Bm A G A Bm

The deer on the hill in the first snow of winter

G A Bm

the gull in the sky winging free

Bm A G A Bm

I wandered away from the dark crowded city,

Bm E F#

Leaving my old life behind,

Bm A G A Bm

And came to a place where a ring of bright water,

G A Bm

Dazzled the care from my mind.

Bm A G A

So I live with the wonder of the sky and the sea

Bm A G F#

And I'll always remember who revealed them to me

Bm A G A Bm

But now you are gone with your whirlpools of laughter

Bm E F#

Racing me down to the sea

Bm A G A Bm

But I always smile when a ring of bright water

G A Bm

Echoes your laughter to me.
