Forty years ago you came on in A traveler to a foreign land Mother held you close against her skin Said your kingdom was at hand How brightly shined the moon that night Not a cloud on your horizon
Chorus: Lay your head upon my shoulder Rest your wandering soul No one said that you’d get older Forty years ago Footsteps falling on a lighted path Promises lay just around the bend— Love and laughter and the aftermath Of every dream that has to end Storms rage against the coastline Shadows play upon the wall Chorus Now you fight your giants Take your treasure— Lay them at my feet Drink your fill of pain and pleasure Your voyage is complete Ancient ships crashed on the rocky shore Holding lesser men than you Sirens sent them to the ocean floor You just sailed your ship on through Now the winds will fill your sails with love— Love you pledged your whole life to Chorus I’m just glad that you were born here Forty years ago I’m just glad that you were born here Forty years ago ---Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
