D F#m
I took my chances on a one way ticket home

Walk me with me darling where the wheat fields used to be

I will tell you stories of my times across the sea

You're the legenday girl I left behind

Can't begin to count the times you crossed my mind

And oh, your children, well the youngest looks just like you

But there'll never be another
