Verse 1

  Of the days too early to Amcome, and too hurried to Estay.

Verse 2

  E Oh I have left, a million stars,

  And an ocean lAmight, and clearly bElue.

  E And I have left, the warmth of the sun,

  And a million adAmventures, not yet beEgun.

  Under the wDide____A_, northern sEkies.

Verse 3
