Go slowly now, sands of time
Still have some verse to pour
This wonder of life has led me back home
Like a poet of Scotland once scribed:

Home is the sailor
Home from the sea
And the hunter home from the hill

Go slowly now, sands of time
Still have a memory to make
Dancing to Auld Lang Syne
Thinking of the heather of home

Home is the sailor
Home from the sea
And the hunter home from the hill
