Lyrics
(Folk song)
Here we float in our golden boat,
Far away, far away.
Here we float in our golden boat
Far away.
1. See how we splash and water dash
While on the air the sun shines fair
Singing of birds and lowing herds
Far away.
Here we float in our golden boat,
Far away, far away.
Here we float in our golden boat
Far away.
2. See how we splash and water dash
While in the trees the summer breeze
Sings of the wind and hills behind
Far away.
Here we float in our golden boat,
Far away, far away.
Here we float in our golden boat
Far away.
3. See how we splash and water dash
While all the stars through cloudy bars
Beacon us home, no more to roam
Far away.
