 Where sun  and wind play  on a ring  of bright  water
 That's  where my heartland  will  be
 The deer  on the hill  in the first  snow of  winter
 the gull  in the sky  winging free
 I wandered  away  from the dark  crowded  city,
 Leaving  my old life  behind,
 And came  to a place  where a ring  of bright  water,
 Dazzled  the care  from my mind.
 So I live  with the wonder  of the sky  and the sea
 And I'll  always remember  who revealed  them to  me
 But now  you are gone  with your whirlpools of  laughter
 Racing  me down  to the  sea
 But  I always smile  when a ring  of bright  water
 Echoes  your laughter  to me.

Where [Bm]sun and wind pl[A]ay on a ri[G]ng of br[A]ight w[Bm]ater
Th[Bm]at's where my hear[E]tland wil[F#m]l be
The d[Bm]eer on the h[A]ill in the f[G]irst snow [A]of wi[Bm]nter
the gu[G]ll in the s[A]ky winging f[Bm]ree

I wand[Bm]ered aw[A]ay from the da[G]rk crowd[A]ed cit[Bm]y,
Le[Bm]aving my old [E]life be[F#m]hind,
And c[Bm]ame to a pla[A]ce where a r[G]ing of b[A]right w[Bm]ater,
Daz[G]zled the ca[A]re from my m[Bm]ind.
So I [Bm]live with the wo[A]nder of the s[G]ky and the [A]sea
And I[Bm]'ll always remem[A]ber who revea[G]led them to[F#m] me

But [Bm]now you are go[A]ne with your w[G]hirlpools [A]of lau[Bm]ghter
R[Bm]acing me do[E]wn to th[F#m]e sea
But[Bm] I always sm[A]ile when a r[G]ing of br[A]ight w[Bm]ater
Ech[G]oes your lau[A]ghter to [Bm]me.
