Twilight is stealing over the sea, Shadows are falling dark on the lea; Borne on the night winds, voices of yore, Come from the far off shore. Chorus: Far away beyond the starlit skies, Where the lovelight never, never dies; Gleameth a mansion filled with delight, Sweet, happy home so bright. Voices of loved ones! songs of the past, Still linger round me while life shall last Lonely I wander, sadly I roam, Seeking that far off home. (Chorus) Come in the twilight, come, come to me, Bringing some message over the sea; Cheering my pathway, while here I roam, Seeking that far off home. (Chorus)
