lyrics

I leave today my darling on a funny avenue
To a place where no one's ever blue or lonely
It's further than the rainbow, more riches than gold
I'll send for you my darling if you love won't grow old

Chorus
For our home is o'er the sea my dear
In this land of opportunity
Peace, bread, work and love is all we need my dear
I'll send for you my love
Please wait for me

I built a little farm house, there's help to tend the fields
Men are hungry for work, for moonshine and steady meals
Gold paints the fields with autumn and lights the woods a new
The rolling hills and meadows they all wait for you

Chorus

Well the winds weren't right, the Earth wasn't good to us this year
The rain never came and still somehow the skies were never clear
Seems our luck ran out and there were times I thought we'd lost it all
But I know God will bring you to me, we'll have better luck next fall

Chorus
