C#Time D#like a C#river C#sends D#me aFmway
But C#here D#on these C#shores my A#heart remCains
From A#these shores I Ccame!
A A#tender Fwind that A#reaches Fthrough the Bb7years
And sings me D#on, through joy and Fpain
It D#breathes wiA#thin me and all that I Dmam
It has D#written A#in my Fsoul
I've D#made a A#promise to never lose Dmsight
Of the D#dream that A#leads me Fhome
And D#this much I A#know
