Lyrics:
Darling, loved one, let me ask you,
When you find me far away,
And my heart is lonely drifting
In the sunshine day by day;
Will your spirit wander to me,
As on distant shores you roam?
Will your love come back to greet me
With the sweetest tho'ts of home?
chorus:
Will your spirit wander to me,
As on distant shores you roam?
Will your love come back to greet me,
With the sweetest tho'ts of home?
Yes, I know your warmest longings
Will come back with many a tear,
With a message pure and fragrant
From your loving heart sincere;
And tho' pleasures strew your pathway,
In the silv'ry sea and foam?
May sweet tho'ts be ever turning
From the exile far from home?
