Swannanoa, I can hear you Call my name upon the wind If I fall behind don't worry You will see my face again You will see my face again Swannanoa, I am longing For my home so far away I will carry you within me From the cradle to the grave From the cradle to the grave And the mountains in the mist And the white clouds they kissed And the sweetgum's perfume in my hair When these hard times have past I will see you at last Swannanoa, I'll be home to stay Oh my darling, I'll be home to stay When these hard times have past I will see you at last Swannanoa, I'll be home to stay Oh my darling, I'll be home to stay
