When the evening turns to gold
And thoughts return to my home
That is when I miss you most of all
Many oceans we have crossed
To find a place we can stay
Now only dreams can take us back again
And we will go there together,
And watch our river flow,
We will stay there forever,
The place we cannot go,
And we will dream of our homeland,
Upon that distant shore,
Lay your head on my shoulder,
'Till you cry no more;
The autumn leaves will fall,
And here the dream for us all,
Is someday we will see our home again;
And we will go there together,
And watch our river flow,
And stay there forever,
The place that we will go,
And when we're back in our homeland,
Upon that distant shore,
With your head on my shoulder,
You will cry no more,
With your head on my shoulder,
You will cry no more.
