A Far Cry
Geoffrey Downes / Grant Hart / John Payne
In the dead of the night
On the wings of the wind
I hear the ocean bell
With a flash of the light
In the beat of the dark
The sound I know so well
I shall never forget you
Itïs been so long
I should never have left you
The call so strong
CHORUS
Itïs a far cry from a wild world
I want to get back to you
Such a long road, to the homeland
I must make my way to a far cry
From the chords of the earth
To the depths of the sea
I will return
As I look to the hill
Through the eyes of the storm
I touch the flame
I shall never forget you
Itïs been so long
I should never have left you
The call so strong
CHORUS
Itïs such a far cry
