'Neath these trees
Towering to the sky
I have walked the years

Forest home
I have heard the call
And must say good-bye

Fare thee well
I sail upon the dawn
To another world
That beckons me

Chorus:
Hold to me closer
While you tarry
Here with me

The sea bell is chiming
My ship sets sail
Farewell to thee

Here we stand
Waiting though we know
That the time has come

Call to me in dreams
I will come to you
And we'll walk once more
On this silver shore

Chorus:
Hold to me closer
While you tarry
Here with me

The sea bell is chiming
My ship sets sail
Farewell to thee
