ring of bright water
Where sun and wind play on a ring of bright water Thats where my heartland will be The deer on the hill in the first snows of winter the gull in the sky flying free  I wandered away from the dark crowded city, Leaving my old life behind, And I came to a place where a ring of bright water, Dazzled all cares 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 Leading me down to the sea But I'll always smile when a ring of bright water Echoes your laughter to me.  (key change)  But now you are gone with your whirlpools of laughter Racing me down to the sea But I'll always smile when a ring of bright water Echoes your laughter to me. Echoes your laughter to me
