Cross of Sea (I'll Take You Home Again, Kathleen)

CROSS OF SEA (I'LL TAKE YOU HOME AGAIN, KATHLEEN)
Please take me back oh cross of sea
Across the ocean wide and deep
To where my heart has ever been
Since first you were so darling, dear;
The roses all have left your feet;
Ive watched them fade away to die
Your voice so sad wheneer you speak
As tears bedim my lovin eyes
Chorus:
Please take me back across the sea
To where my heart will feel no pain,
To keep resplendent fields green,
To remain with that angel host eermore

I know you love so, darling, dear
Our hearts are ever fond and true;
I always feel when you are near
That life holds nothing dear but you;
The smiles that once you gave to me
I seldom ever see them now
As ever many times I see
A darkning shadow on the wall
Chorus

To that home so far across the sea
My love, dear one, again will return
And when thy old friends welcome thee
Thy loving heart will cease to yearn
Where laughs the little silver stream
Beside your mothers humble cot,
And brightest rays of sunshine gleam
There all your grief will be forgot
Chorus
(Rendition of the Classic by Thomas P. Westendorf—Ill Take you Home Again, Kathleen)
