Green The Hills

from Elf King's Horn by Ginger Ackley

/

about

As a ship departs for new lands, a lover's heart mourns for the one left behind.

lyrics

Green the hills that lie behind me.
Blue is the sky that cradles the dawn.
Crystal and clear the flowing waters.
Golden the hour when day is done.

Where is the tree that sheltered my home?
And where is the song that lifted my heart?
And where is the land my lover dwells in?
Forever from him I have to depart.

Wide is the sea that I sail upon.
Far is the land that welcomed my birth.
Empty the arms that once held my lover.
Long is the road to the ends of the earth.
