Far away, beyond the starlit sky,

voiceCollected by Max Hunter (H-6 ) For Mary C. Parler Sung by Mrs. Ed Newton Gainesville, Missouri Transcribed by Frances Majors June 10, 1958 Reel 250, Item 4 Twilight Falling Twilight stealing over the sea, Shadows are falling light on the lea, Borne on the night wind, voice of yore, Come from that far-off shore. Chorus: Far away, beyond the starlit sky, Where the love-light never, never dies, Gleam of a mansions filled with delight, Sweet, happy homes so bright. Voices of loved ones, songs of the past, Still linger round me while life shall last; Lonely I wander, sadly I roam, Seeking a far-off home. (Chorus) Come in the twilight, come, come to me, Bringing some message over the sea, Borne on the pathways while here I roam, Looking the far-off home.
