GFar Caway I've Gtraveled,
To GstaD7nd once more aGlone.
And GheaCr my memories Gecho,
Through these GhilD7ls that I call Ghome.

On these GhillD7s that I call Ghome.
[Chorus]
The Cwind is rushing through the valley,
And I don't Gfeel so all alone,
When I Csee the dandelions blowing,
Across the GhiD7lls that I call Ghome.
