Standard (EADGBE)

 Where sun and wind play on a ring of bright water

 That's where my heartland will be

 The deer on the hill in the first snow of winter

 the gull in the sky winging free

 I wandered away from the dark crowded city,

 Leaving my old life behind,

 And came to a place where a ring of bright water,

 Dazzled the care from my mind.

 So I live with the wonder of the sky and the sea

 And I'll always remember who revealed them to me

 But now you are gone with your whirlpools of laughter

 Racing me down to the sea

 But I always smile when a ring of bright water

 Echoes your laughter to me.
