I’ll go to where the water’s green And the white waves rise and swell Through all the day and into night Where the darkness of day dwells I’ll ever strive to never linger And leave myself in love But weightless drift, though all the sun Lies heavy from above Over the long horizon lies And there by night and day The old ships draw to home again The young ships sail away And come I may, but go I must And if they ask you why You may put the blame on the stars and the sun And the white road and the sky
