1 A long, long way the sea-winds blow
across the sea-plains blue,
but longer far my heart must go
before its dreams come true.

2 And work we must, and love we must,
and do the best we may,
and take the hope of dreams in trust
to keep us day by day.

3 A long, long way the sea-winds blow —
but somewhere lies a shore —
thus down the tide of time shall flow
my dreams forever more.
